Students at the Academy of the Holy Family are part of a tradition that stretches back over 140 years and has produced hundreds of strong women in society. Each young woman is encouraged to develop her faith, to be part of the AHF community and to serve others as she strives for the excellence in academics, arts and athletics.
The Academy of the Holy Family offers a wide variety of opportunities for each young woman to grow in knowledge, experience and maturity. Clubs and organizations, sports teams, music ensembles, service opportunities, social events, liturgies and school activities allow each student to reach her potential in body, mind and spirit.
Here, each girl tries new things, takes risks, discovers inspiration in her triumphs and is strengthened by her learning experiences. She will mature in an environment of high standards, ethics and empathy. She will emerge an independent and resilient young woman, tenacious in her commitment to herself, her family and her community.
At AHF, we get to know each student and help unlock her potential, to better her life and her world. Take advantage of all AHF offers during your years as a Marist.
Where Friends become Family!
In no other aspect of the Academy’s day-to-day routine is this more evident than in what goes on in the dormitories of AHF. Girls who come to the Academy with no sisters among their siblings soon find they have inherited a dozen plus sisters; girls who come from adoptive families readily experience a second family that has embraced them. And those for whom family has always been cherished soon find that the Academy shares that love as young women from many cultures, speaking different languages quickly begin to care for and about each other.
Living at AHF
The atmosphere will impress her right away—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.
She 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.
