Nazareth Academy is a private, Catholic, coeducational college preparatory high school.
(270)

Nazareth Academy is sponsored by the Congregation of Saint Joseph. Founded in 1900, Nazareth Academy is among the oldest educational institutions in Chicago's western suburbs. It was established by a pioneering group of Sisters of St. Joseph who came to the La Grange area in 1899. Their first school, with an enrollment of fourteen, was in a remodeled six-room house. A school building was construct

ed in 1901 and an addition to it in 1949. Until 1963, the school enrolled both resident and day students. In 1974, Nazareth moved its operations to existing buildings at 1209 West Ogden Avenue and sold its buildings to the public school district to begin a junior high school. Nazareth became coeducational in 1977. It is our wish to provide the students of Nazareth Academy with facilities commensurate with the exceptional academic, spiritual, athletic and co-curricular experience they merit. Today, Nazareth Academy serves an area approximately 25 miles long and 10 miles wide in Cook and DuPage counties

Happy Retirement Mr. Nache. Keep Smiling! 💙

Generations of students have been carried safely thanks Mr. Nache’s 24 years of service to Nazareth. With him at the wheel, it wasn’t as much about when you arrive, it’s about who you arrive with and how many smiles you pick up along the way.

Through it all - traffic, weather, construction or creative interpretations of location - Mr. Nache focused on the same simple advice: ‘Keep smiling’. And that’s exactly what he makes everyone do. His bus was a place where students felt welcomed, supported and cared for. He knows them, he looks out for them and he makes even the longest rides something special.

We wish Mr. Nache and his family all the best. May he enjoy his retirement.
