You will see a unique model of Catholic education for an ever-changing world; it is a progressive approach to a rich tradition. With dual religion tracks, our students live, learn, and work with one another with respect and understanding of each other’s religions, creating a diverse community, reflective of our great city.
Service to others and the values of our namesake, Mother Frances Xavier Warde, are visible in both our actions and in our service projects, which are an integral part of the FXW curriculum. Parents and students volunteer for numerous opportunities available at school through our Living the Legacy Program, and they seek out many other many other ways to help make our city and our world better, fairer, more just places to live and grow.
Learn how our teachers support each child’s developing sense of curiosity, interests, and talents through vigorous and imaginative exploration of essential concepts, skills, and experiences in academics, the arts, and athletics. Our graduates go on to be critical thinkers and leaders in their community and are highly sought-after by high schools and colleges throughout the country.
Chicago is a city of neighborhoods. By inviting all the neighborhoods into our School, we show value and respect toward all cultures, all faiths, all backgrounds and beliefs. We seek out diversity and rejoice in the gifts that an inclusive community has in a global society.
