“At Nazareth, we’re challenged every day by our teachers who prepare us for college, but we’re also encouraged to always ‘make it a great day.’ One of the best parts of Naz is the energy and family bond everyone has with one another.”

Gianna Lopez ’21 St. Jane de Chantal

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.

FAITH & MINISTRY

Integrating learning with Christian values.

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.

Campus Ministry 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 a variety of service opportunities. 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, Illinois.

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.

Service 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.

Service Team Committees: • Caring Place for Kids/tutoring and mentoring • F.I.S.H. (Friends in Service and Hospitality)/Aspire • Food Pantries

“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 inclusivity and hospitality, and live as Christ taught us to live, as servant leaders.”

Mrs. Janet Rausch ’91 Campus Minister

• Liturgical Prep Committee/Eucharistic Ministers • Living the CSJ Mission • Retreat Planning • Thanksgiving and Christmas Drives

15,000+ hours of service to our community including three summer service trips.

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.

FINE ARTS & ACTIVITIES

It’s all about being involved and developing friendships.

Fine Arts The popular Nazareth Academy Fine Arts program, filled with opportunities for the creative mind to grow and excel, offers academic courses in art, band, choir, digital media, drama and speech.

Students enhance these classroom experiences by participating in multiple bands, choirs, Color Guard, the fall play and the spring musical. Come add your creativity and talent to Nazareth!

Student Activities Students are strongly encouraged to choose from a wide range of clubs and activities to complement varied interests. Many organizations meet on a specific day of the week during the Activity Period.

The Activity Period takes place during the middle of the school day allowing for an even greater opportunity for student involvement. In addition to the Activity Period, some groups will meet before or after school.

96%

of Nazareth Students participate in extracurricular activities.

“My Nazareth experience has been deeply influenced by our school community’s emphasis on family.

On the court, in class, on the stage, or through retreat, I have never not felt at home.”

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

Technology is a key component in the vitality of our classrooms.

Students use their own iPads for the majority of their textbooks as well as enhanced educational technology.

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.

“Nazareth has provided my daughter with the best learning environment any parent would want for their child. She’s not only academically challenged, but she feels accepted and appreciated. She comes home every day with a smile on her face.

Nothing can be better than that.”

Viviana Chavez Mother of Amber Constante ’23

1:1 iPad Program All students use iPads for most of their courses. Students provide their own iPad and accessories. We suggest an iPad, iPad Air or iPad pro with a minimum of 128 GB storage. 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 an iPad, he or she receives access to Nazareth’s secure and protected WiFi network throughout the school.

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 and 18 iMac workstations available for coursework, digital research and communication. Both facilities offer locations for students to print school-related files. Additionally, the Media Center offers a state-ofthe-art audio visual setup, complete

with projected AppleTV. The Computer Science classroom has 30 MacBook Air laptops for the instruction of computer programming. The Digital Media Arts classroom has an additional six iMacs for in-class use.

Technology in the Classroom 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.

Rediker’s PlusPortals for Students and Parents PlusPortals provides student and parent access to updating personalized information, including grade reports.

PlusPortals is available to each student and parent through dedicated mobile apps or any web browser.

Digital Citizenship Nazareth maintains a clear and consistent policy regarding the school’s expectations for Digital Citizenship and provides each student with a Responsible Use Policy.

Nazareth Academy provides a “Named Scholarship Application” and “Financial Aid Form” on our website, www.nazarethacademy.com, under the Admissions tab.

Parent Pledge Program 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.

“These last few years of high school at Nazareth have been some of the best years of my life. The administration and faculty, along with my fellow students, have been nothing less than a second family to me.”
