I am taking time out of my busy schedule to let everyone know what a wonderful school this is! We are known for our excellent academics and athletics, as well as a faith-based, family atmosphere. Our students are wonderful. If you are looking for a strong school in the area, do yourself a favor and check us out! *** I am now going into my fourth year at JCA and I wouldn't change anything I said above. Last year I had the opportunity to travel to Barcelona and have short home-stays there with fourteen students. Not all schools offer such amazing opportunites. ***

Joliet Catholic Academy was the greatest place to go to school. The teachers were wonderful! They…read moretruly cared about us and most of them knew our parents by name. Now, that could've been a good thing or a bad thing depending on why they knew their names,... but mostly it was good ;) If you went to school there your parents were investing in you and it's probably one of the best investments they could have made, because not only was it a college-prep school, but they prepared you for life. When I went there in the 80's, it was not Joliet Catholic Academy, it was St Francis Academy and only girls attended. Well, that's not exactly true. lol, In the mornings, the boys came over from Joliet Catholic for band, and for 2 weeks, during Mardi Gras, we attended classes at the boys' school....and let me tell you, those 2 weeks were the best out of the whole year! Not only did we get to go to school with the boys, but we didn't have to wear our uniforms. Jeans & T-shirts, Jeans & Sweaters, and Jeans & Sneakers! it was awesome! :) The rest of the year was great as well. We could leave the campus for lunch, study outside on the lawn, and once our last class was over, we could go home. During my sophomore year I left at lunch-time every day. In the morning, the entire school smelled so delicious!! In the cafeteria, they made these Ginormous, soft, gooey, chocolate chip cookies that you could buy just as they came out of the oven,.. and for only10 cents. I hated,... no,... disliked strongly, History, but my teacher was Ms. Rosella Mae-Warner and she was fabulous. ( and yes, she knew my Dad's 1rst name lol ) That woman was an absolute gift from God. I could always go to her for help on any topic, including problems at home or with, dare I say it,...Boys. I think out of all the teachers I ever had, including in college, she was/is my most favorite. I hope she knows how much of a difference she made in my life. I wish I would have told her how much I loved her, but kids don't think like that until they're not kids any more. Sister Katherine was my Religion teacher and she was a great teacher as well. She made learning about Christ and the Bible interesting, and for that, I thank her. If more kids had religion as part of their lives, we wouldn't have near the problem we have with the youth of today. What happened to respect and honor? I'll tell you. Back then Nuns still taught and they would grab you by the ear and drag you to the Deans office if you committed an offence that warranted such an action. Really though, not everything you heard about nuns or catholic school girls is true, but that part is. lol Our Dean was Mr. Russell ( he, too, knew my father's name and phone number lol ) and he was kind and fair. I'll always remember him and I'll always be thankful for the guidance he provided. I could probably go on and on, but believe me when I say " The education I received was superior and I'm certain that, even though the school has a different name, any child ( boy or girl ) that attends will be well prepared for college and have a great foundation for life."

The prices became higher and higher with increases, but the environment and teachers made it a wholesome and good experience for most of us. The drawback was the outside gym classes in the grassy area where there's a parking lot now, and having to go out to the mobile classrooms in the thick of winter... and the stocking regulations in winter weren't all that fun either. The cafeteria used to overcharge and not provide good nutritive options, never mind for vegetarians. Gym class was basic and not equipped with any particularly exciting curriculum nor equipment. We didn't used to have modern PCs nor computer classes, even though it was beginning to become more and more popular in other schools. The sisters live next door in their convent, there's a senior citizen home as well, where older sisters or civilians reside their last few years or months of their lives. Peaceful surroundings, excessive acreage we were made to navigate during the yearly walkathon. Good times.
