St. Agnes Academy

Admission

At St. Agnes we know that when we each study, play, create, write, speak, serve, preach, and pray with our whole and authentic selves, we can all contribute more—more peace, more positivity, more service, more humility, more compassion, more curiosity, more ambition, more impact, more change.

And that means our young women are (more than) ready to pursue lives of truth, passion, and purpose.

Academics

Our expert faculty members enter into equal partnership with their students—establishing a covenant of authentic, wholehearted learning that far exceeds the traditional classroom experience. Whether in speech class, a peace and justice seminar, an astronomy or anatomy lecture, our students seek more than the superficial answer—the why behind and the truth within each lesson.

Prayer

St. Agnes is a dynamic community of believers: our students come from many walks of life and faith traditions. And yet each and all come to embody the timeless and universal teachings of St. Dominic—courageously pursing truth and humbly practicing compassion, love, and justice through(out) their lives.

Arts

At St. Agnes Academy, creativity takes the form of a constant challenge: be curious, know more, question more deeply. This kind of creativity isn't limited to any particular medium. Our students write compelling documentaries, curate their own art shows, and build imaginative stage sets. Guided by our always-encouraging teachers, each St. Agnes student finds and hones her ability to express herself.

Athletics

For more than 100 years, St. Agnes has empowered young women to develop intellectual curiosity, to work for social justice and to act with integrity and compassion. Academy women are leaders and are making a difference in the world today. Since our early years on Fannin Street, we have been blessed with faithful partners like you who support our mission. Your generous gifts continue to keep our doors open, our tuition low, provide for campus improvement projects, enable professional training and education for our teachers and staff, and give us the ability to award student scholarships so that more young women can attend the Academy in our second century and beyond.

Book and Lyrics Ryan Cunningham

Music Joshua Salzman

A modern-day musical love story, I LOVE YOU BECAUSE is a sweet and funny romantic comedy based on Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice. The Wall Street Journal called it "everything an off-Broadway musical should be ... a charming piece of work that will send you home smiling," and The New York Times concurred, praising it as "terrific, refreshing fun filled with wit and zest." And the acclaimed pop-jazz score by the new writing team of Ryan Cunningham & Joshua Salzman was hailed as "impressive, distinctive, tuneful and smart."
