At Duchesne, we provide a transformative living and learning environment that nurtures hearts and minds, and that’s framed by the Sacred Heart values.
This values-driven culture will empower you to develop your sense of self, achieve your goals and be the very best version of yourself. You’ll be encouraged to embrace the values of the Sacred Heart, to nurture your empathy, compassion and commitment to justice, and to invest in projects that give back to the community.
“I always loved running into Sister Kath during my time at Duch – she has such a deep care for everyone and truly takes the time to be interested in your life. Couldn’t think of a better role model for the Duch girls.”
