NAZARETH STRIVES TO EDUCATE THE WHOLE PERSON

I know the teachers at Nazareth cared just as much about my success as I did.

Nazareth is more than just a place where I found the best education; it’s a place where I pursued all of my diverse interests and expanded my horizons.”

Kevin Quinn ’18 Westchester Middle / Attending the University of Illinois

Academics 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.

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, 96 students took 167 exams in 11 different areas.

As a student, Nazareth Academy has brought me immense opportunities. As a young adult, Nazareth has given me a second home. My teachers have pushed me to reach my full potential academically while reminding me it is also important to focus on my mental health and personal interests. My peers have always shown me respect and kindness. Nazareth has helped shaped me into the person I am today, one who is prepared to embark on new journeys.�

INTEGRATING LEARNING WITH CHRISTIAN VALUES

Nazareth has been more than an education to me. The knowledge I’ve gained will go beyond my time here. The spiritual growth I’ve experienced has helped me to recognize how much my parents have sacrificed to send my siblings and I to Catholic school. The education and experiences I received at Nazareth will be etched on my soul forever.”

Joseph Trelenberg ’18 Divine Providence / Attending the University of Wisconsin Madison

Faith & 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 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 have the opportunity to 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.

OPPORTUNITIES FOR EXCELLENCE ON AND OFF THE FIELD

My friends, team, coaches and the student body all supported me in the journey to reach state, so I ran for not just myself, but for Naz.” Scott Sikorski ’19 St. Jane de Chantal

Athletics 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 offers its student-athletes an opportunity to compete in 23 interscholastic sports.

IT’S ALL ABOUT BEING INVOLVED AND DEVELOPING FRIENDSHIPS

Being a part of the Nazareth Academy Concert Choir for three years taught me so much about the power of unity. The musicianship we learned guided us in not only blending our collective voices, but in supporting each other emotionally, physically and of course, spiritually. The music ministry at Nazareth is a powerful instrument and it was always an honor to represent this mission with other students who felt the same way.”

Daphne Bigelow ’18 St. Michael / Attending the University of Oklahoma

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

Nazareth is the perfect combination of discipline and opportunity for me to grow into the man I want to be. I never take for granted the opportunity to be a Roadrunner.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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, while highly recommended, are optional. 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.

TECHNOLOGY CENTERS Students have additional access to devices before, during and after school. The Computer Lab offers 60 Apple iMac computers. The Media Center has 60 Chromebooks, 30 iPads and 3 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.
