Marquette Academy vs. St. Bede Academy

Marquette High School is a Roman Catholic school community consisting of students, faculty, staff, parents and alumni under the direction of the Bishop of Peoria.

It is our foundational belief and operating principle that every person is created in the image and likeness of God with an eternal destiny.

This school is principally a college preparatory school integrating eternal truth and values into an academic program whose goal is to stimulate the spiritual, intellectual, emotional and physical growth of the students, thus enabling them to become competent, concerned, responsible and ethical members of an ever-changing global society.

St. Bede Academy has been providing quality Catholic education in North Central Illinois since 1890.

While we pride ourselves in our rich history and tradition, we understand the ever-changing needs of students today.

Our goal is to provide students with an education that will not only develop their minds, but also strengthen their character preparing them for life's challenges.

The academic environment at St. Bede encourages students to excel, both in and outside of the classroom.

We commit to having graduates leave the Academy ready, both spiritually and academically, for life in the real world.
