As an alum of 1981, my time at Lacordaire was more than just an education; it was a journey of self-discovery and empowerment. Through its unwavering commitment to fostering a supportive sisterhood, promoting academic excellence, and nurturing future leaders, Lacordaire has left an indelible mark on my life, shaping me into the confident, resilient woman I am today.

Lacordaire Academy gave me the confidence and skills to succeed in my endeavors through college. I had the chance to start my own club, hold positions of leadership (soccer captain/ member of NHS), work in the after school program, along with many other experiences. The community at Lacordaire is very tight and diverse. I am extremely grateful for the experiences and the people I have met through Lacordaire.

Overall, my experience at Laco is amazing. It is a really small school with an average of a total of about 60 girls in the entire high school so you can't really blame them for not having the latest equipment and things. It is a really close family and everyone knows everyone. All the teachers know each and every student due to the very small numbers. All of the teachers really push each girl to accomplish their very best with whatever resources we have available. It is basically one huge family.

We love Laco! Our family has been at the school for three years, and between our kids we have experienced most of the Lower School grades. It is a relief to know that our children are in great hands while still being held to a high academic standard. Thank you Laco!

We will never stop regretting our decision to send our child to this absolutely horrible school.

My daughter is in the upper school and is exceeding all expectations because the Academy has prepared her to do so and she demands it of herself. The Academy sustains a rigorous academic workload; the students are expected to be involved in many of the extracurricular clubs, organizations, and sport...
