“My experience at the Academy changed the course of my academic career. The charisma St.E’s teachers possess is infectious, as students are encouraged to find their own passions. For me, the Academy fostered my love for literature and writing, one that I never would have realized if it were not for the support and motivation of my teachers. The Academy breeds a community of strong, well-rounded young women.”
