I absolutely love Saint Agnes, I have been there since my freshman year in High School, although I came in the middle of the semester, everyone made me feel so welcome the day I stepped foot inside the door. I feel like I have grown so much as a human being and I don't have anything bad to say about my school.

Saint Agnes is a school that encourages individuality. The atmosphere is very supportive. Definitely recommend sending your child here.

St. Agnes Academy - St. Dominic School has been an amazing community for my family for the past 8 years. As a mom of three boys, St. Dominic provides a learning experience that it distinctly made for boys and individualized to bring out the best in each of mine. The ability to be on a campus shared by St. Agnes Academy for girls also provides social opportunities - service, theatre, choir, etc. - where they interact and build friendships with girls. The community of parents are supportive of the school and each other in a way that I believe is unique in school environments. This school, the students and the wonderful faculty is a blessing to my family.
