Santa Clara of Assisi Catholic Academy

Every Child Deserves the Opportunity to Learn, Lead, and Grow in Faith

Nestled in the heart of Dallas' southern sector, Santa Clara of Assisi Catholic Academy is more than a school, it is a faith-filled community where children are known, loved, challenged, and prepared to become bilingual leaders who serve God and their communities. Since opening our doors in 1994 in response to the community's desire for Catholic education, Santa Clara has remained committed to forming the whole child through academic excellence, Catholic values, and a culture of joy, service, and belonging.

Located near Loop 12 and I-30 at the crossroads of Dallas, Irving, Duncanville, and Grand Prairie, our beautiful, nature-filled campus has become a hidden gem where students encounter Christ daily while discovering their God-given gifts. Every day, our mission comes to life as we nurture each child's spiritual, academic, physical, emotional, and cultural growth in a bilingual learning environment.

Santa Clara is proud to be the only Catholic school in the Diocese of Dallas offering a Dual-Language Program. Beginning as early as PK3, students learn in both English and Spanish, developing the confidence and academic skills to become truly bilingual and biliterate. Research consistently demonstrates that students in high-quality dual-language programs achieve strong academic outcomes while developing the cultural competence and communication skills needed to thrive in an increasingly interconnected world.

Our diverse faculty and staff represent cultures from across the globe. Together, they model the beauty of a multicultural Catholic community where every child is created in the image and likeness of God and every family is welcomed with dignity and respect. Through ongoing professional development in data-driven instruction and continuous improvement, our educators continually refine their teaching so every student has the opportunity to reach his or her fullest potential.

Faith is the foundation of everything we do. Students pray together daily, celebrate weekly Mass, participate in devotional prayer, study religion, and intentionally develop the virtues of faith, wisdom, integrity, culture, and servic, . They actively participate in the liturgy as readers, altar servers, and choir members, discovering that their faith is not simply something they learn, it is something they live. At Santa Clara, teachers and staff know every child by name, and families often describe our school as an extension of their home, warm, welcoming, safe, and centered on Christ.

Preparing students for the future also means equipping them with the tools they need to succeed. Every student has access to a personal Chromebook or tablet, while every classroom features interactive SmartBoard technology that enhances learning across every subject. Beyond the classroom walls, our unique outdoor learning environment inspires curiosity, environmental stewardship, and hands-on discovery.

Students experience a well-rounded education through daily enrichment in STEAM, music, and physical education while also developing leadership, creativity, teamwork, and discipline through choir, athletics, and extracurricular activities. Whether competing on the volleyball or soccer field, performing in choir, solving problems in STEAM, or exploring their artistic talents, every child is encouraged to discover and develop the gifts God has given them.
