Josephinum Academy, Chicago:
An associate of the Network of Sacred Heart Schools, Josephinum Academy is an academically rigorous, private, Catholic, single-sex, college-preparatory school for promising young women of Chicago. Girls from throughout Irving Park, North Center, Ravenswood and surrounding communities enjoy a first class education taught by skilled and experienced teachers. We are a multicultural, values-based community that strives to empower young women to become leaders by nurturing their talents and instilling within them a social awareness that motivates them to make a difference. We provide a faith-based, single-sex environment which encourages the study of math, science and technology, in addition to the humanities. We are recognized by the Illinois State Board of Education and accredited by the North Central Association.

We strive to educate the whole person with special attention to the challenges girls face as they begin their transition from adolescence to adulthood during the formative middle-school years. The benefits of a single-sex environment at this age are tremendous. Girls feel safe and supported in their personal growth and have higher levels of self-esteem. With fewer social pressures and distractions, they are more focused on academics, set high personal and educational goals, and develop confidence in their learning abilities and perspectives.

Courses / Programs:
Middle and Upper School Programs for girls in grades six through twelve. We provide a rigorous curriculum which encourages the study of math, science and technology, in addition to the humanities.
