An all-girls environment provides young women with countless opportunities to be inspired, to achieve both academically and in extracurriculars, to be challenged and to take risks in the classroom, on the stage, and on the athletic field.
Many of the earliest and finest schools for young women in the United States were Catholic institutions founded by religious sisters. There’s something special about schools that are founded by women, for women. All-girls schools are places where young women can develop their intellects through learning and their hearts through growth in virtue and true friendship with other girls.
St. John Paul II often spoke about the “genius” of women and their special God-given ability to bring love, inner strength, and humanity into a world that often objectifies people and doesn’t value them for who they really are. At St. Cecilia Academy, young women are taught that they possess an inherent God-given dignity simply by nature of the fact that they exist. Each girl also discovers that she has been given unique gifts that she is called to share with the world. Educated in an environment that is tailored 100% to the way girls learn best, the young women of SCA grow in confidence by taking risks and trying new things. They learn leadership and strong character through authentic self-knowledge rooted in a supportive community atmosphere.
The world doesn’t need what women have, it needs what women are. -St. Edith Stein

St. Cecilia Academy is a place where you will find a real sense of sisterhood with other students. Each student is able to express herself in her own way and the others around will encourage here and bring out the best in here. - Isabella Tiamson '22
