2017-2018 SCHOOL PROFILE

THE ACADEMY OF THE HOLY NAMES is a Catholic coeducational elementary school and a college

preparatory high school for young women, founded in 1881 by the Sisters of the Holy Names of Jesus and Mary (SNJM). The Academy is the second oldest high school in the state of Florida, and is part of the larger SNJM network which includes schools in California, New York, Washington, Oregon and Canada.

With a tradition steeped in concern for social justice, the Academy has built a strong academic reputation. The school's distinctive mission makes it possible for the administrators and faculty to incorporate the rich intellectual discourse and humanitarian concerns of the Sisters of the Holy Names of Jesus and Mary into our programs.

The Academy of the Holy Names and its community values a unique educational model that is:

? Open to families of all faiths and backgrounds who share the school's mission and values; ? Respectfully responsive to the needs of diverse learners; ? Holistic in its approach to each individual's growth, development, health and wellness; ? Innovative in its development of curriculum that integrates technology, promotes creativity, encourages artistic

expression and actively engages students in exploration and inquiry; and ? Dedicated to challenging all students to become proficient, confident, independent learners, critical and creative

thinkers and skilled problem-solvers.

The Academy uses a block schedule to provide for a more student-centered approach. Students have more time and opportunities for active engagement and interactive, applicable learning. In the fall of 2015, the Academy introduced its 2:1 program whereby each student uses a MacBook Air and iPad.
