Duchesne Academy of the Sacred Heart is a Catholic, independent Pre-K - 12, all girl school. It is a member of the Network of Sacred Heart Schools and as such is committed to educate students to:

• A personal and active faith in God
• A deep respect for intellectual values
• A social awareness which impels to action
• The building of community as a Christian value
• Personal growth in an atmosphere of wise freedom

Duchesne Academy offers a college-preparatory curriculum, which draws on the natural curiosity and ability of students to help them experience a love of learning. We focus on the whole child - intellectual, spiritual, emotional, social, and physical. Our goals and curriculum are strongly rooted in the Catholic doctrine; however our student population includes girls from many nationalities and religious denominations. This diversity adds a rich dimension to our learning environment.

At Duchesne Academy we specialize in turning girls into women ready to face the future and all that it holds. Since its founding in 1960 Duchesne Academy has built a reputation as one of Houston's strongest independent Catholic schools through its well-articulated Goals and Criteria, demanding academics, innovative laptop program, and a variety of extracurricular activities.
