Step onto the campus of St. Agnes Academy-St. Dominic School and you'll find a school unlike any other in Memphis. For over 170 years we have provided an extraordinary Catholic education that values relationships and develops students of character.
We recognize that boys and girls learn differently, behave differently, and are developing emotionally in very different ways. Our two single-gender schools St. Agnes Academy, designed just for girls PK2-12, and St. Dominic School, created just for boys PK2-8, are proof of what is possible in an environment that takes these differences into account. From Early Childhood to our Upper School, small class sizes and attentive teachers help every student achieve in the classroom and beyond.
Our Catholic faith and the Pillars of Study, Prayer, Community, and Service are at the core of everything we do. We welcome students and faculty of all faiths.
