St. Scholastica Academy Information

St. Scholastica Academy provides a challenging program to young women in a Christian environment. SSA is dedicated to meeting the spiritual, intellectual, social, emotional, physical, and aesthetic needs of its students. Committed to the education of young women, the school fosters the development of leadership, self-confidence, motivation, service to others, and academic achievement. As a college preparatory school, SSA consciously endeavors to provide an atmosphere for intellectual growth in which students are given opportunities to become independent, critical thinkers, capable of functioning in society today and in the future. As a Catholic school we teach the basic truths of the Catholic faith and foster the student's moral development based on gospel values. The faculty, staff, and student body together create a Christ centered community of mutual respect and care. The belief that each student is unique, with individual differences, needs, and learning styles, is taken into consideration when making decisions with respect to curriculum, discipline, activities, and procedures. SSA sees itself as having a responsibility to the community at large. Educated to an awareness of the needs of others, students are actively encouraged to respond generously as responsible members of the community. Grounded in tradition, the school maintains openness to embracing new responses to the challenges of an ever-changing, pluralistic society in which women have a unique and major role.
