Catholic Independent Private School in Memphis

St. Agnes Academy-St. Dominic School is a Catholic, independent private school community in Memphis, Tennessee, serving girls in PK2-12 and boys in PK2-8.

Two schools. One community.

Here, we teach in two separate schools on one campus. Intentionally. Our single-gender learning environments allow educators to tailor instruction, experiences and opportunities to support the academic, social and personal development of girls and boys.

At St. Agnes Academy for Girls, we guide young women to be who God meant them to be through a challenging curriculum and the guidance of supportive educators dedicated to faith formation, academic success and character development.

At St. Dominic School for Boys, we are dedicated to the formation of young men who are intellectually curious, emotionally resilient, and spiritually mature while developing lifelong bonds of brotherhood.

Since our founding in 1851, we have provided academic excellence in an environment where every student receives the love and confidence that fuel achievement and success. We invite you to find out more about our two single-gender schools and to schedule a personal tour of our beautiful campus.

"There is no place like SAA. Every girl that attends can find some place that feels like home. Whether it is the theatre, the softball field, the math lab, or the science lab, there is a comfort in this place. I believe that it is more than acceptance. There is always an invitation to belong, to be involved. You will find it all over this campus."

"My favorite thing about SAA is the environment of support that is constantly present. No matter how my day is going, there is always someone that is next to me—a teacher, a friend, or a coach—who supports my endeavors, encourages me through the difficult times, and challenges me to work hard even if I fail."

"St. Dominic was, in my opinion, the best possible preparation for high school and college that I could have received in Memphis. Not only did my teachers lay an excellent foundation for understanding higher-level math, science, and humanities, but they also taught me discipline in applying myself for totally new subjects that I came across later in high school and college."

"We have come a long way as a class and have created a brotherhood like no other. We’ve shared many memories that have helped sculpt our class into who we are today: unique brothers who aspire to live by the four pillars in our daily life, while having a little fun."

"St. Agnes – St. Dominic is a place where the sense of community is strong. When we walked through the doors of the Early Childhood Center to tour, it immediately felt like home for our family."

"My experience attending Junior High at St. Agnes Academy gave me confidence, socially and academically, as I moved onto high school. I value my time spent there, interacting with students from St. Dominic School and forming lifelong friendships, as we established a strong foundation for our future."

"St. Agnes Academy prepared me for college due to the high quality of work expected, coupled with the high quality instruction given on how to produce such work. Teachers across departments expect and believe that all students should and are capable of achieving, and therefore, they are constantly ready to provide the help necessary to gain a holistic understanding of the material."

There is no better place to learn and grow as a young man. When I completed my years at St. Dominic, I felt confident and ready for high school.
