Saint Bede Academy, founded in 1890, is a Catholic private co-ed boarding and day school in the Benedictine tradition. Conveniently located 90-miles southwest of Chicago, we offer a high-quality college-prep program on our secure 700-acre campus. Every day, our students are preparing themselves for college and for life by developing their minds while also strengthening their character. With a tri-level academic program, our curriculum is tailored to each student’s individual strengths and challenges students to excel. Whether you are interacting in person or online, teachers at Saint Bede encourage you to develop and contribute your God-given talents and to mature through experiences and relationships.

At Saint Bede Academy, students experience a feeling of acceptance and belonging in a supportive environment and we look forward to including you as a part of our Saint Bede family.

We have established a living situation that combines the structure of a boarding school with a small group living experience. The male boarding students live in a residence constructed on the St. Bede campus in 2011. The female boarding students live in a residence constructed in 2009. These residences are located just north of the academy building at the heart of St. Bede's beautiful 700 acre campus. Each boarding home is supervised by a married couple who live in the boarding homes with their children. We believe this living situation provides an ideal model for a secondary school student who desires a residential option. Each boarding house consists of 8 student bedrooms with 2 desks, 2 chairs, 2 beds, 2 wardrobes and 2 dressers. Both house also features WiFi, a communal kitchen, living room, laundry and bathroom facilities for student use.
