For over 200 years we have educated children inside these gates.
❤️
Today we embark on a new journey: off-campus learning. Although our gates may be closed, our hearts and minds are open. The faculty and staff are working beyond the gates to educate and inspire the hearts and minds of each child.
❤️
Join us daily at noon for Espacio (10 minutes of quiet reflection) so that as a school community we may be united in prayer during the coming weeks.
MARCH for the HEART, our Alumni Annual Fund Challenge, runs from March 17-31. Our goal is to increase overall alumni participation, so YOUR gift ― no matter the amount ― is gratefully received and benefits every Academy student every day.
On Wednesday, March 4 Ava and London were recognized at Powell Symphony Hall as one of the top 100 finalist in the Picture the Music competition.

We have postponed this event and plan to reschedule later in the spring. Stay tuned for details!

A Lenten Pilgrimage to Philippine’s Home with the Potawatomi
Thursday, March 26-Friday, March 27, 2020 (2 full days).
