Supporting the Whole Student at Nazareth Academy
At Nazareth Academy, we believe that educational success is a collaborative effort.
By integrating school departments, partnering with parents, and utilizing community resources, we ensure every student has the tools they need to thrive.
Four Focus Areas of Support
Health & Wellness: Nurses Office
The school nurse provides a coordinated system of care through assessment, education, and intervention. We prioritize student health to ensure a safe and productive learning environment.
Academic Support Systems
Our academic approach responds to and anticipates the unique learning needs of our student body. From dynamic classroom settings and active tutoring center, academic support is embedded into daily student life.
Mental Health & Counseling
We are committed to the whole person approach, helping students grow personally, academically, emotionally, and socially.
- Expert Guidance: Our professionally trained counselors assist with college advising and personal support. Meet the Guidance Team
- Balanced Life: Learn how our unique Block Schedule reduces stress and benefits student mental health.
- Student Advocacy: Explore clubs and support groups, including the student-led Mental Health Task Force.
Campus Safety and Security
The safety of our students, faculty, and staff is our highest priority. Nazareth maintains a secure environment through rigorous standards:
- Verified Staff: All employees and coaches undergo background checks and Archdiocese of Chicago Virtus training.
- Secure Campus: Our main and athletic entrances are secured from 6:30 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. daily.
- Law Enforcement Partnership: We work closely with the La Grange Park Police Department and employ a full-time School Resource Officer (SRO) for an added layer of security.
All Student Support Systems are integrated into our mission to educate the whole person.
