Saint Bede Academy is a Catholic high school in the Benedictine tradition which endeavors to prepare students for college and for life by welcoming them into a community of learning permeated by Christian values.

 

As a college preparatory school, we ensure our students will be ready to continue their education. Currently, 97% of our students attend some type of post-secondary schooling. Our average A.C.T. score in 2009 of 21.9 was above the State(20.8) and National(21.1) averages.  9% of the graduating class of 2009 had a GPA of 4.0 and above.  20% of the senior class of 2010 were selected as Illinois State Scholars. An amazing 98% of St. Bede students participate in extra-curricular activities. Our objective is to keep students busy! Every experience is a life lesson. The more they do, the more they learn.

The academic environment at St. Bede encourages students to excel, both in and outside of the classroom. We commit to having graduates leave the Academy ready, both spiritually and academically, for life in the real world.
