Nazareth is... family. Faith. Friendship. Future.

Welcome from Our Admissions Office

At Nazareth Academy High School, Nazareth is more than just a school — it’s a Sisterhood, a support system, and a second home. Our teachers don’t just teach; they guide, mentor, and cheer you on. Our students lift one another up, celebrate each other’s achievements, and grow together in faith and purpose.

Rooted in our mission of faith, family, and education, Nazareth empowers young women to discover their gifts, embrace their potential, and step confidently into the future. From the moment you walk through our doors, you’ll feel the energy, the connection, and the care that make Nazareth unlike any other place.

We know that choosing the right high school is a big decision — and we’re here to walk with you every step of the way. Whether you’re visiting for a shadow day, cheering at a Nazareth game, or joining us for a special event, you’ll see for yourself what so many students, parents, and Faculty already know:

✨ Nazareth is where you belong. ✨

Come discover what Nazareth is to you.

Nazareth is... where your future begins. 🐼💙💛

Choosing an All-Girls School

BENEFITS OF AN ALL-GIRLS SCHOOL

According to the National Coalition for Girls' Schools, an organization dedicated to empowering girls to be influential contributors to the world, girls' schools engage, challenge, inspire and prepare our daughters to strive for greatness and prepare them for life beyond the classroom.

Years of research confirm that girls' schools create a culture of achievement for female students. Studies suggest that girls who attend single-sex schools benefit in lasting ways as learners and as individuals. They achieve:

  • stronger self-esteem
  • greater self-confidence
  • broader leadership opportunities
  • higher aspirations

While girls' schools have much in common, every school is unique.  At Nazareth Academy High School, there is nothing we are more proud of than our Catholic values and traditions and the teachings of the Sisters of the Holy Family of Nazareth.  

The faculty and staff inspire our students to live their faith and develop their spirituality on a daily basis. Our students begin each day with daily prayer, and they are encouraged to share their special intentions with their classmates. 

As the only private, Catholic high school for girls in Philadelphia, our students live that experience everyday, and our faculty and staff are committed to upholding these distinct core values.
