As a college preparatory high school, the curriculum of Nazareth Academy is geared to prepare all students for college. Courses are offered at college prep, honors and Advanced Placement levels. Freshmen typically begin with algebra, English, physics, religion, world history and world language, with optional fine arts electives. Proficiency exams allow students who are accelerated in mathematics or language to begin at the sophomore level in those classes.
COLLEGE PREP All of Nazareth Academy’s courses in English, mathematics, science, social studies and world languages, as well as courses in fine and practical arts, are college preparatory. Students who satisfy Nazareth Academy’s graduation requirements are well prepared for success at the four-year college of their choice.
HONORS
“It’s a privilege to work in a school that attracts academically talented students and aims to foster the growth of, not only the strongest, but of all students.” Mr. Sean Banasiak Science Department Chair
Honors level courses are offered in English, mathematics, science, social studies and world languages. Qualified students may pursue honors courses in any or all disciplines. Freshman students who score sufficiently high on the HSPT entrance exam and whose 7th and 8th grade report cards indicate good study habits will be invited into honors courses. Honors grades are weighted.
ADVANCED PLACEMENT The Advanced Placement Program enables students to pursue college-level studies while still in high school. AP grades are weighted. Based on their performance on the College Board AP Examinations, students can earn college credit and advanced placement in college courses. Students at Nazareth Academy successfully pass AP exams in each academic discipline. This past year, 140 students took 224 exams in 12 different areas.

FAITH AND MINISTRY
CAMPUS MINISTRY Integrating Gospel values into the Nazareth Academy curriculum is an essential aspect of the Nazareth high school experience. Each student is provided with the opportunities necessary to become a mature Christian person. In addition to the curriculum, liturgical and personal prayer, retreat participation and service opportunities all contribute to the continued development of one’s faith. The Campus Ministry Department empowers students in the areas of service, retreat and prayer. Throughout the school year students plan, conduct and generously support Thanksgiving, Christmas and Lenten collections. Students may also participate in summer service trips. Day retreats are offered at the freshman and sophomore level. Juniors are required to attend an overnight retreat at LaSalle Manor Christian Brothers Retreat Center in Plano, IL. Seniors may attend the nationally recognized Kairos Retreat. All-school liturgies provide celebrations of Holy Days of Obligation, as well as major school events throughout the year. Students plan and participate in all Masses and prayer experiences. During their junior year, students may also choose to be trained as Eucharistic Ministers. All Nazareth students are encouraged to become involved in the Service Team, which is a student-run organization with an executive committee and co-chairs for each committee.
“Nazareth Academy students live our pillar of unity as a reflection of the CSJ charism ‘that all may be one.’ By celebrating our faith through service, worship, and retreats, Nazareth students build relationships with our dear neighbors, become agents of radical hospitality and living as Christ taught us to live, as servant leaders.” Mrs. Janet Rausch ’91 Campus Minister

ATHLETICS
OPPORTUNITIES FOR EXCELLENCE ON AND OFF THE FIELD
Nazareth is committed to athletic and academic excellence while integrating learning and competition with Christian values and faith. While we take great pride in the continued success of our student-athletes at the conference, regional and state levels, we always keep an eye on the bigger picture. Win and loss records mean nothing if our athletic programs are not helping to develop more respectful, kind, faith-filled and service-oriented student-athletes. This process is best accomplished within the Nazareth framework of Scholarship, Service, Spirit and Unity. Nazareth competes in the ESCC-East Suburban Catholic Conference and is a member of the Illinois High School Association. In support of IHSA policies, Nazareth Academy may not promise or offer athletic scholarships of any kind. Violations may result in loss of eligibility for the student, coach and/or school.

Nazareth Academy provides a “Named Scholarship Application” and “Financial Aid Form” on our website, www.nazarethacademy.com, under the Admissions tab. All scholarships and awards are based on student performance in fulfillment of the Nazareth Academy Mission and its four pillars of Scholarship, Service, Spirit and Unity.

“ Choosing the honors route, especially for English, has enhanced my reading, writing, and analytical skills and made me more comfortable participating in class discussions. English honors classes have really brought out my love for literature and reading books from all different periods of time. I feel very prepared for the rest of my high school career and for my future college career.” Erin Anderson ’20 St. Francis Xavier

CAMPUS
PARENT PLEDGE PROGRAM
Nazareth Academy is set on over 20 acres of land. Academic buildings, a beautiful theatre and multiple athletic venues are some of the highlights. On campus parking is available to junior and senior students, as well as guests. 2016 saw the opening of Nazareth’s newest building, The Walsh Center, which includes new Fine Arts spaces, classrooms, a second gym and an expansive fitness center. The renovation of M Building for the 17-18 school year modernized 11 classrooms and allows for additional flex and meeting spaces.
As a Catholic, Christian community we believe by helping each other, we all grow and prosper. The Parent Pledge Program supports all who benefit from the Nazareth experience. Nazareth Academy encounters significant challenges as we set tuition each year while confronting rising operating costs. We encourage participation in the Parent Pledge Program to help pay the difference between tuition and what we actually spend to educate your child at Nazareth. This program provides a variety of ways for every family, regardless of financial circumstances, to help above and beyond tuition.
DRESS CODE Nazareth Academy believes school uniforms celebrate our school identity and unity. Girls wear the uniform skirt with the uniform polo shirt. Boys wear solid black, navy or tan full-length dress pants with the uniform polo shirt. A uniform fleece pullover is optional. Solid black dress or athletic shoes and solid color socks are also worn. Neat grooming and conservative haircuts are an expectation.
TECHNOLOGY
AT NAZARETH, WE UNDERSTAND THAT THE ROLE OF TECHNOLOGY IN EDUCATION MEANS MORE THAN WHICH DEVICES WE HAVE; TECHNOLOGY IS A KEY COMPONENT IN THE VITALITY OF OUR CLASSROOMS AND FULFILLMENT OF OUR MISSION.
We strive to transform and enhance the way students learn and communicate by providing greater opportunity for collaboration, innovation and creativity. It is our goal to: • Provide access to digital content and tools for all students via the 1:1 iPad program. • Increase opportunities for student-to-student and student-to-teacher collaboration. • Provide applications, tools and training necessary to enhance an engaging and interactive learning environment. • Encourage responsible digital citizenship at all times.
TECHNOLOGY CENTERS Students have additional access to devices before, during and after school. The Collaboratory offers 30 Apple iMac computers. The Media Center has 65 Chromebooks, 30 iPads and 18 iMac workstations available for coursework, digital research and communication. Additionally, the Media Center offers a state-of-the-art audio visual setup, complete with projected AppleTV. The Computer Science classroom has 30 Macbook Airs for the instruction of computer programming. The Digital Media Arts Classroom has an additional 6 iMacs for in-class use.
TECHNOLOGY IN THE CLASSROOM GOOGLE APPS FOR EDUCATION Each student receives a nazarethacademy.com Google account and has access to Gmail, Google Classroom, Google Drive and Google Calendar as well as all other free Google apps.
1:1 iPAD PROGRAM All students use iPads for most of their courses. Students provide their own iPad or iPad mini with a minimum of 128 GB storage. An iPad Pro with 64 GB or more of storage is also acceptable. A keyboard and stylus or Apple pencil are required. Students are responsible for iPad care and maintenance. The use of iPads provides enhanced opportunities for learning, while the savings in book costs more than make up for the purchase of the device over four years. Once a student registers a device, he or she receives access to Nazareth’s secure and protected WiFi network throughout the school.
Classrooms contain a variety of technological resources including projectors, AppleTVs and Smartboards. Faculty members have the flexibility and resources to access tools and applications which best encourage collaboration, innovation and creativity. Examples include: Notability, Nearpod, Classkick, Catholic Bible app, Logo Creator, Floorplanner, Socrative, Pixlr, Desmos Graphing Calculator, Kaizena, mindmeister, Haiku-Deck and ReadRhythm.
