How does Immaculate Heart Academy remain on the cutting edge of preparing for college?
At Immaculate Heart Academy, a major key to our students’ success is remaining on the cutting edge of educational programming and college prep curriculum. Our dedicated and knowledgeable College Counseling Department, a collaborative effort that boasts members with 30+ years of combined experience, provides faculty, students, parents, and teachers with a more focused, individualized plan for the college application and admissions processes. Educating students and parents about these processes starting in freshman year helps ensure each student makes the right decision for her, including attending the college that allows her to reach and exceed her goals. The graduating Class of 2024 earned more than $45 million in scholarship awards and 91% were admitted to their first- or second-choice colleges. We are proud that our College Counseling Department continually proves to be beyond successful and worthwhile for everyone involved.
