Our campus—59 acres known as the Cathedral Close—is a vibrant, special place. Walk into any space—our four well-equipped classroom buildings, our state-of-the-art 90,000 square-foot Athletic Center, or the Cathedral itself—to find students and their teachers engrossed in purposeful activity and engagement of the body, mind, and soul.
We invite you to discover the many ways we live our mission to believe in the power of young women. We look forward to sharing our campus with you!
