WHERE FRIENDS BECOME FAMILY

Creating well-rounded studentsThe Academy of the Holy Family enables young women to not only reach their full potential academically, but provides them with the opportunity to develop other talents and interests. Our Fine Arts and Performing Arts programs allow students to grow in their artistic ability.

Lift each other up like FAMILY and play competitively like a TEAMOur Athletic program at the Academy leaves students with not only lifelong memories of playing side by side with friends, but with lasting principles on the importance of teamwork, hard work, and self-discipline. Students can find a sport for every season with soccer in the fall, basketball in the winter, and softball in the spring.

A community of faithThe Academy of the Holy Family is a community of faith. The life of prayer lived by the Sisters of Charity is a powerful example to the students. Students take religion classes all four years at the Academy, including Basic Catholicism, Sacred Scripture, Church History and Morality. Recognizing that there is truth to be found in all the major religions and established faith traditions, we encourage all students to develop their faith life in their beliefs, through prayer, service and mutual respect.

Learn invaluable life skillsAcademy of the Holy Family teaches young women life skills that prepare them for family, work life, and careers by empowering individuals to manage the challenge of living and working in a diverse global society. Hands-on projects and daily work are the major emphasis for grading. Topics include, among many others, time management in school and in life, home décor, etiquette, job applications and interviews, auto care, financial skills (loans, credit cards, balancing checking accounts), health and safety, and the secrets of a beautiful marriage.

Where Friends Become Family!Young women at AHF experience a second family filled with friendliness, sharing and filial warmth. She will witness girls helping one another with studies, doing small chores to keep the dorm neat, sharing clothes and make-up, sharing their very lives.

Our young women will readily see that the Sisters take to heart the best interest of the students’ intellectual, social and spiritual growth, and while guarding the safety of the girls, they allow them the freedom to grow and mature into independent young women, ready for college life, ready for life.
