Discover Opportunities at Scecina

Educating the Whole Person
We educate the whole student - spirit, mind and body - through four years of theology, challenging academics (such as Advanced Placement, dual-credit and honors courses), and extracurricular activities (20 IHSAA sports, including gymnastics, and club sports such as archery, lacrosse and men’s volleyball).

Students have opportunities to serve others at school and in the community through the Campus Ministry’s Christian Service Program, Catholic Theology classes and extracurricular service clubs.

Each Scecina student receives a school-owned computer for use during the school year through the 1:1 technology initiative. The computers give students and teachers more flexibility in class and allow the school to offer eLearning days out of the classroom.
Global Awareness
Scecina’s International Student Program promotes international understanding, creates memorable and diverse learning opportunities, transforms critical intercultural perspectives and nurtures global connections from the Catholic perspective.
