Mission/ Accreditation

As a classical Catholic school, the philosophy of Holy Family Academy is to aid parents in the development of the whole child—mind, soul, and body—while recognizing the student’s particular gifts and personality given by God—to move beyond a limited focus on self in aspiring to a life of virtue, beauty and charity.  

Combined with our emphasis on spiritual formation, our students are able to study their Catholic heritage from the perspective of seeking to know the truth, grounded in the faith, leading to a recognition of the truly good and beautiful.  The symphonic harmony of Truth, Goodness, and Beauty is most richly encountered in the Person, Teachings and Example of Jesus Christ.   At Holy Family Academy we are committed to a joyful Catholic culture that fosters virtue in our young people.

The classical trivium or stages of classical education, (grammar, logic, and rhetoric), fits well with our goals because it honors the different stages of childhood development. 
  
In terms of pedagogy, this method is tried and true. It produces a great foundation by which students can continually grow in virtue and the love of learning, and develop their capacity to imagine, to reason and to choose the true, the good, and the beautiful.
