You are helping us encourage growth in self-confidence and leadership skills. You are helping us provide them with forums to deepen and share their faith and reach out to others in Christ-like service.
Dear Nazareth family and friends,
In the 125 years since Nazareth Academy’s founding by the Sisters of the Congregation of St. Joseph, we have been committed to educating young minds and affecting real community change. Together, our faculty, staff and community have helped ensure and forward our mission to educate the whole person. Having you as a part of our amazing legacy is a blessing.
Your support in our 125th year is a testament to your belief in the power of a Nazareth Academy education. It is encouragement, it is faith and it means everything. Your contributions ensure that we continue to provide an environment where every student feels valued, accepted and empowered to excel academically and personally. We are educating the whole person each and every day.
Your continued commitment to our mission not only helps maintain the legacy of Nazareth Academy, it also inspires us as we move forward each year. Please know how very humbled we are by your kindness.

Oremus Media Center Redesign
To meet the educational needs of today and best prepare students for tomorrow, we are reimagining our Media Center into a cutting-edge environment designed for collaboration, creativity and community. Our redesigned space will offer state-of-the-art flexible seating, collaborative workspaces and presentation areas, advanced AV capabilities and modern study spaces. We are very grateful for those who contributed thus far to make this project a reality. It is because of the generosity of parents, alumni and friends that Nazareth is able to provide such an excellent educational experience while upholding our pillars of Scholarship, Service, Spirit and Unity.
