Duchesne Academy of the Sacred Reviews

What I realize that many above have not written is the amount of work that you receive! Yes I love the enviornment, but teachers assign work as if that was your only class. I am currently taking 3 adv courses, and I regret going to this school because I have no social life or time to do my hobbies.

Duchesne has an amazing atmosphere. The girls are very happy and the teachers and staff are wonderful. My daughter is in lower school and this is her first year at DASH. She is so excited about going to school everyday...Now that is what I am excited about.

I'm a 'lifer' (been at Duchesne since Pre-K) and I'm currently a junior. Duchesne is a great school and has an amazing atmosphere. There's alot of social awareness apportunities at DASH as well. It is also not as religious as some might think. Juniors and seniors get to pick their religion classes from a wide variety including a class on World Religions, Peacemaking, Social Justice, etc. Different opinions are very welcome at Duchesne.

My daughter has attended this all-girl, Catholic school pre-k through 7th & is entering 8th. Topnotch teachers, superior academics, cutting edge technology: smartboards, individual laptops starting in middle school. They provide a nurturing environment that fosters strong, confident girls. While the school is Catholic affiliated and Catholic in its religious focus, girls from every religious background are welcome and thrive here. If you want your daughter to attend an all-girl's school that will embue them with the finest education and allow them to excel to their fullest academic potential in an academically challenging environment, then you can do no better than this school.

I would recommend this school for girls who want to achieve in a nurturing, well-rounded, inspirational environment. The Lower School provides the warmth, enrichment and parent presence that makes all the girls feel secure yet chalenged. The school is increasingly academically chanllenging and begins a required laptop program in the 6th grade. There are drama and sports opportunitites and the only thing which could improve is the instrument/band program, which is nonexistent. Parent involvement is quite high and you're never made to feel unwelcome.

My daughter started at DASH (as Duchesne Academy is known) in kindergarten and is now entering 4th grade, so most of my comments are specific to the lower school. Of all the private schools we looked at in the Houston area, DASH seemed the most balanced. There is a very strong focus on academics, but not to the exclusion of all else. All of the families, and hence all of the students, have strong family values that really limits the cliques that other schools might experience. The teachers and the faculty are very good at building in the girls a joy of learning. Best of all, my daughter absolutely loves the school, her teachers, and her friends. It is great having a daughter that really enjoys her school. That, I think, is typical of a Duchesne student. We are confident that middle and upper school is the same.
