I came to Duchesne as a freshman, and the transition into high school was smooth thanks to the girls in my class as well as my teachers. The staff are so nice and they genuinely care about their students. Although there is a lot of work, it is manageable, and there are lots of resources available. Even though Duchesne is a small all girls school, there are so many opportunities to meet people at other schools. Go Chargers!
I've been a student at Duchesne since I was in 1st grade. My parents sending me to this school is honestly one of the best things to ever happen to me. While it was their choice at first, I eventuall grew attached to the school and couldn't imagine myself being anywhere else. The community and traditions that the school is founded on are so unique. The all-school activities that happen are always enjoyable, and the memories we make are always genuine and long-lasting.
Of course, the academic programs are strong. Duchesne also has a strong fine arts department and multiple successful sports teams. Duchesne also has multiple clubs that you're child can join. There is even a robotics team, team #3103 Iron Plaid, that I am a part of. The extracurricular opportunities at Duchesne are practically limitless.
If you're looking for a safe, well-rounded learning environment to send your girl to, Duchesne Academy is the place for you.

Duchesne Academy is a great place to learn, explore, socialize, and discover. Their unique environment creates a desire and passion for students to learn. I joined Duchesne in 9th grade, and I could not have been more welcomed and happier to be here. The private school experience allows me to always see my teachers one-on-one, if needed, and creates a more personalized learning experience. It also allows me to get to know my classmates more and take part in every opportunity I want at Duchesne. Besides great academics, I have really enjoyed Duchesne for their sports and clubs as well. It was such a great way to meet people in my own grade, and other grades as well. When I started field hockey pre-season, before school had started, I got my first glimpse into what the community at Duchesne is like; caring and supportive. I noticed this right away and haven’t stopped seeing it since.
