without
limits.
Josephinum Academy seeks to build a community of learning and development for high school girls through rigorous academic programs inclusive of empowering social-emotional support from highly qualified faculty and staff.
This culture creates an environment where students can explore and develop an understanding of their own identity, ignite an interest in learning, and appreciate with compassion their role in the world.
Faith.
Intellect.
Compassion.
These values shape the Josephinum experience — from the classroom to the community and beyond.
Our students are encouraged to develop their voices, understand their place in the world, and become confident, courageous, and compassionate leaders.
Who will she become?
The Portrait of a Graduate reflects the qualities and characteristics Josephinum hopes every student will develop through her education. It guides our academic, social-emotional, and co-curricular programming, ensuring that each young woman has opportunities to grow as a person of faith, intellect, compassion, and purpose.
It is about who she becomes — a reflective, critical-thinking, risk-taking, culturally conscious, justice-oriented, and globally minded young woman prepared to lead with purpose.
