Our family loves Duchesne and the education that it has offered to my daughter. We wish there was more diversity in the school as that would add value in education. It is very much a community. We hope to stay until the end!

Overall a great education. There was definitely a lack of diversity but the teachers and school culture allowed for an inclusive atmosphere. A more literature and writing heavy curriculum.

Duchesne Academy has been an amazing school for my daughters. The faculty and staff go above and beyond to ensure my daughters are reaching their full potential. The school community feels like a family. The faculty and parents have strong values and goals for the girls and are focused on achieving them in a thoughtful and nurturing way.

From the uniforms (especially the ridiculous frilly pre-K aprons) to the gross white gowns required for graduation....is that to symbolize purity like a lady should be???? I get traditions but get with the times and stop d...

There has been a significant decline in the quality of the school for many years. This year is definitely the worst. The interim lower school director is poorly qualified for both of her positions, is unethical in performing multiple roles with conflicting goals and does not value parent or communit...
