Located in the heart of the borough of West Chester, Saint Agnes School's diverse faith and cultures unite us in our service to God and Others. Saint Agnes School offers our students eleven years of continuous education from Preschool through Grade 8.
Established in 1873 under the administration of the Sisters, Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary (IHM's), Saint Agnes School remains committed to instilling Catholic values in a nurturing environment as is evidenced in our Mission Statement:
"Our mission at Saint Agnes Catholic School is to develop every student spiritually, intellectually, physically, emotionally, and socially in a joyful, faith-based environment that inspires integrity, citizenship, leadership and service to others in the Church and in the world."
Today Saint Agnes’ Pastor and Principal partner to ensure that Saint Agnes School continues the 150-year-old tradition of providing Catholic Values and Academic Excellence in the IHM Tradition. The spiritual needs of the students are nurtured through daily prayer, participation in the liturgies, reception of the sacraments, retreats, devotion to Mary, and parental involvement in sacramental preparation. Our Pastor's presence and support for the school attests to his dedication to Catholic Education.
