I have absolutely loved my time here. I the community is so strong the every single girl makes an impact. Duchesne girls are bright, positive, curious, and bold. The teachers facilitate curiosity, deep evaluation, and problem solving. I feel so prepared for college and cannot wait to see all I accomplish in life thanks to my foundation at Duchesne. I have truly grown into a smart, kind, and confident individual who is ready to take on life's challenges.

I would like to see more diligence when choosing teachers. It's understandable that there will be some bad eggs because of staffing shortages, but a few of them are not well versed in the fields they are teaching.

My two daughters attend this school--both are very different in personality and aptitude. Duchesne has allowed both girls to flourish while challenging each to grow into young women who can think and express herself well. Very thankful for this school!

This is a great school. They are constantly pushing the limit. This year my daughter will start the "laptop" progam with an IPAD 2. They are constantly moving forward and challenge the girls to do their best!
