FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

WHAT ARE THE SCHOOL DAYS & HOURS?
​Holy Family's schedule prioritizes family life. Individualized instruction at home can accomplish goals that cannot be achieved in a classroom setting. Therefore, we offer the following reduced academic schedule:
  • Students K-6 attend classes three days a week: Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday.​
  • Students 7-12 attend classes four days a week: Monday - Thursday.
Our reduced academic week has many advantages:
  • it lowers tuition and makes a quality education affordable for more families;
  • it supports and prioritizes family life by increasing time spent at home, enables parents to be more involved in their child’s education, and provides time for family enrichment activities;
  • it reduces absenteeism by providing time for doctor/dentist and other appointments;
  • it encourages independent-study skills, better preparing students for college;
  • and it provides a three-day weekend for family and college trips.

OUR METHOD

Classical 

Classical education can be distinguished from modern education, in that it does not neglect the important first step of giving students the classical tools for both intellectual development and for understanding their classical, Christian heritage. 

CHRISTIAN

With the attainment of heaven as our foremost goal, Holy Family Academy teaches and upholds traditional Christian morality and the Holy Scriptures as the divinely inspired word of God. The catechism is integrated into the primary and grammar curriculum and rigorous theology classes are offered in the upper school.

Traditional

In the traditional classroom, a knowledgeable, enthusiastic teacher carefully leads students into an understanding of each subject. The traditional classroom is consistent with human nature and the experience of many decades has demonstrated its superiority over the modern child-centered classroom.​
