Faculty
Our faculty members are the heart and soul of Duchesne. Students build strong bonds with their teachers that often last years beyond graduation. Our faculty genuinely care about each student and are invested in the girls' success.
We have 92 teachers across the Lower, Middle, and Upper Schools. All faculty receive ongoing professional development each year so that they are continually learning new skills and teaching methods.
