Advisory
The Advisory program is thoughtfully designed and aimed to unlock the innate potential of young women to fulfill the God-given potential of young women as faith-filled, independent and just. Each student will be assigned to an advisory group consisting of peers from their grade level, accompanied by a dedicated faculty advisor throughout their high school journey. This close-knit community not only serves as a homeroom but also acts as an invaluable support network, fostering sisterhood and bolstering self-confidence for every student during their time at the Academy.
Flex Time
On designated days, students will have the autonomy to choose from various sessions tailored to cater to their individual needs and interests. These offerings include dedicated time for Liturgy and Catholic faith enrichment, workshops focusing on study skills, effective test-taking strategies, social-emotional learning, as well as comprehensive college and career counseling. During this time, our faculty members will be accessible in tutoring labs to offer additional academic support to students.
Clubs at the Academy
Our clubs are envisioned and spearheaded by students, with the guidance of a dedicated faculty moderator. Students are encouraged to take initiative in creating both service-oriented and interest-based clubs, all with a mission that resonates with our school's core values. Active participation in these clubs, along with assuming leadership roles, provides students with valuable opportunities to enhance their collaborative, communication, and time management skills—skills that prove beneficial not only within the academic setting but also in various aspects of their lives.
