Joliet Catholic Academy is a Catholic co-educational, college preparatory high school co-sponsored by the Franciscans and Carmelites. JCA’s committed, attentive faculty and staff challenge every student to reach their full potential. Joliet Catholic Academy offers a stimulating curriculum and boasts a competitive athletic program while fostering compassion and service to the community and to each other. Our extensive range of extracurricular activities encourages students to live with integrity, grow spiritually, acquire academic excellence, and act responsibly.
Students graduating from Joliet Catholic Academy make a mark on their world through leadership, achievement and service – skills learned as part of the JCA experience. Joliet Catholic Academy’s ability to prepare young men and women who are critical thinkers, who understand the importance of human dignity and empathy, who respect themselves and other. and who live their faith thought action, depends on the support of many – faculty and staff, parents and grandparents (past and present), alum, friends, businesses and organizations – giving their time, talents, and resources.
JCA students are making a positive impact on our JCA community during these challenging times. Angels and Hilltoppers know and care for one another, and they share the Carmelite and Franciscan values of prayer, community and service. Some are riding out these times in relative comfort while others are suffering greatly. This is their moment to be strong for one another; to show the best of who they are.
Joliet Catholic Academy does not discriminate on the basis of age, race, color, sex, national origin, or other prohibited basis.
