Cor Jesu Academy

Cor Jesu Academy, a Catholic, college-preparatory school founded by the Apostles of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, offers an academically challenging program, committed to the total education of young women. Inspired by the charism “SHARING THE LOVE OF THE HEART OF CHRIST,” students embrace personal dignity, faith, integrity and compassion. Empowered intellectually, spiritually, and morally, graduates serve as responsible members of the global community.

The academic enthusiasm and outstanding performance of our students at CJA speak volumes about our program and the faculty-student partnership. Our faculty members challenge each student to achieve high levels of performance and service through involvement in the classroom and beyond. Similarly, our students challenge each other to excel in all areas.

The environment at CJA fosters spiritual development and concern for others. "Sharing the Love of the heart of Christ" is not only a phrase that we say, but it is how we live each day at Cor Jesu. Our prayer services, retreat programs, opportunities for reconciliation, liturgies and daily prayers help strengthen the relationship between our students and the Sacred Heart of Jesus each and every day.

Cor Jesu forms young leaders, provides our students as well as our community with the direction needed to positively impact the lives of others. Through a vibrant academic and spiritual environment, we will continue to preserve our heritage by cultivating our leaders of tomorrow. A Cor Jesu education promotes the formation of the whole person in spirit, mind and body, nurturing lifelong learning where every student entrusted to us is challenged to grow as the unique woman God created her to be.

Cor Jesu Academy will be nationally recognized as a leading Catholic college-preparatory school for women. In this environment, Cor Jesu Academy creates a caring community of young women, who accept and share God's love. Affirmed in her own personal dignity, the Cor Jesu Academy student transforms the world through her faith, compassion, integrity and impassioned service.

A Catholic education is one of the most wonderful gifts that a young woman can be given, and at Cor Jesu Academy, we are a community where everyone truly cares about each other. Our students not only receive a remarkable academic experience, but make lifelong friends, create special memories, strengthen their faith, and discover untapped talents and interests. It would be my honor to offer you a personal appointment or tour to see what a Cor Jesu Academy education can do for your family.

In our Mission Statement we articulate the expectation that our graduates, "inspired by the charism of Sharing the Love of the Heart of Christ...embrace personal dignity and faith, integrity and compassion and a commitment to serve others." To achieve this goal, the administration, faculty and staff work hard to provide for our students an excellent and challenging education grounded in gospel values and in the charism and traditions of our founding community, the Apostles of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. We also strive to ensure that our students have the opportunity to practice what they are learning through service to others throughout their four years at Cor Jesu Academy.

We are proud of what we achieve at Cor Jesu – in our classrooms, in our offices, and on our playing fields and stages. Our achievements are due in no small part to a faculty/staff of dedicated, inspiring women and men, who share a common goal – to do what is best for our students. As our Vision Statement asserts, we work in communion to create "a caring community of young women who accept and share God's love."

One of Cor Jesu's many educational goals is to utilize technology in an effective and meaningful way that will support the students' varied learning styles. In order to achieve that goal, Cor Jesu has implemented the Laptop Program, which requires each freshman to lease a Lenovo ThinkPad Notebook throughout her four years at Cor Jesu for educational and personal use.

Coupled with the interactive SMARTBoard technology that is available in all our classrooms, the laptops enhance the students' education in myriad ways. For instance, the laptop technology is integrated into the larger curriculum framework to help the students implement concepts, research various topics and share their understanding of the material. As our classrooms continue to become more active with interactive projects, students continually are challenged to transform data into knowledge and knowledge into action - infusing all the subjects with technology. To help with that process, our faculty members integrate the computer technology into their lessons and activities. They continuously receive training on the laptops to enhance learning for their students.
