About St. Cecilia Academy

Women with purpose

Run by the Dominican Sisters of St. Cecilia, the Academy is an independent Catholic school for young women in grades 7–12 — on the same 83-acre Dominican Campus as Overbrook and Aquinas College.

Named for the patron saint of musicians, it requires fine arts of every student and asks every junior to complete an original Research Symposium — two things that set it apart.

A Newman Guide Recommended School

The Cardinal Newman Society names only a select group of schools to The Newman Guide — those that stand out for a faithful, rigorous, authentically Catholic education. St. Cecilia Academy earned that recommendation: national recognition for exactly the mission the Dominican Sisters founded it on in 1860.
