In my experience at Louisville, not only the education, peer support, teacher mentorship, I think having that confidence to become that adult, I was able to build my own business, become an entrepreneur, and I don't think I would have been able to do those things without having the background and that solid foundation that Louisville provided.

Louisville’s community is much stronger than I expected. I love how they actually encourage students to know each other—by the third week of school we all already know each other’s names!

The all-girl aspect allows me to express myself and my opinion free of what others may think.

I spend less time worrying about how people perceive me and feel comfortable showing off what makes me, me. I have found such strong, meaningful relationship with the people around me even in my first year here.

I have made such amazing memories and had experiences that will last a lifetime at Louisville.

The teachers are so caring and understanding, my peers are kind and accepting, and the events that students and coordinators work hard to provide for us are so fun!

Overall, I am happy about my decision in choosing Louisville and I can’t wait for the rest of my time here.

Juliana A.

I’ve always been Catholic and I grew up Catholic, and because Louisville is a Catholic school, it allowed me to foster my own personal relationship with God. Especially by going to Mass and having religion classes I was able to channel my faith into a stronger relationship with God. For me, a lot of why I am where I am today is because of my value in prayer and Louisville is definitely a place that embraced that.

Luciana D.

Louisville is the best decision I have ever made in my life. I thought that being at an all-girls school would be a difficult adjustment, but this environment has helped my confidence and knowledge grow so much.

I have been able to express my thoughts, be who I truly am, and ask as many questions as I like without worrying what people think of me.

I don't have to try to impress a boy, instead I feel I can express myself through art, music, writing, sports, and so much more. I really do recommend Louisville, it is life changing!

Nina N.

I’m a veterinarian, I’ve been practicing for 15 years now and I do think that my high school experience at Louisville has a lot to do with the career and the profession that I’m in today.

Louisville gave me a lot of confidence. I didn’t have to be afraid to raise my hand in class.

I was really able to get engaged in the science classes, the math classes; obviously, the English and liberal arts classes as well, but I was really able to develop a lot of skills here at Louisville that prepared me for college and veterinary school. So the confidence I received here told me: ‘It’s ok! Women can go on and become doctors, veterinarians’ and here I am today!
