Lacordaire Academy received Middle States Accreditation as a single academy with one division. Only the elementary school grades Pre K to 8 is coed; grades 9-12 is all girl. a new administration has breathed new life into this school which celebrated 90 years of excellence last year. Lacordaire is an academically challenging school with a nurturing faith community. Classes are small but the student body and faculty is vibrant with over 42 extra curricular activities ranging from yoga and golf to a National Honor Society and Mock Trial. Lacordaire is well known for its award winning writing program, forensics and volley ball teams and for its many fine arts programs. I had two children attend Lacordaire and they are still reaping the benefits of a wonderful education.

Overall curriculum is lagging. The size is not exactly as positive as it might seem. Limits number of classes and courses and extracurriculars. May have the same teachers for all four years which is a limiting high school education. Lost some sports during transition of new administration. New administration at times very unresponsive and uninterested in certain problems brought to their attention. Phone calls sometimes have gone unresponded to without several repeat calls. Small size does not always mean more engaged attention. Can result in a whole other host of problems in social areas due to the limits in numbers. Problems of enrollment still existing. Daughter also has needed tutoring which begs the question why isn't she getting more personal attention in a school so small.
