Immaculata Academy is a private four-year Catholic, college preparatory, high school for young women founded in 1928 by the Franciscan Sisters of St. Joseph, the sponsoring body. The sponsor supports the continuation of Immaculata Academy through representation on the board of trustees and committees, financial donations, and attendance at extra-curricular activities and programs.
Immaculata Academy continues to be conducted by the Franciscan Sisters of St. Joseph and dedicated lay and religious teachers.
Immaculata Academy is dedicated to the individual development of young women academically, spiritually, and personally through the encouragement of personal growth and participation in all the areas of school life.
A family spirit is modeled through genuine concern and care for and among our students, faculty, staff and parents.
Academic Ongoing self-evaluation and curricular updating have allowed Immaculata Academy to meet or exceed the standards of the New York State curriculum. It is accredited by both the New York State Board of Regents and the Middle States Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools.
Immaculata Academy offers a strong and varied academic program designed to meet college entrance requirements and future employment in an ever-changing world. Every student has access to a wide range of learning resources, including constantly updated technology. Small class sizes and a low faculty/student ratio support each student’s academic potential and needs.
The guidance program is designed to help each student plan her program of studies as well as make decisions for her future education. Counseling and referral services are available for anyone in need.
Spiritual A relationship exists among all members of the Immaculata Academy family that is respectful, accepting, cooperative, caring and Christian in its understanding of the rights of all. Liturgies and prayer services are organized by the students and faculty and presided over by priests from the area. Students are prepared to meet the challenges of the adult world as true committed Christians through a program of studies and service activities which foster spiritual growth. In light of our Franciscan values of harmony, respect, service, peacemaking, stewardship, joy and prayer, we encourage each student to use her skills of leadership so as to be an instrument of positive change in our society.
Personal Immaculata Academy creates an academic and social environment, including diversity education, which promotes universal acceptance and appreciation of all. Immaculata Academy also recognizes that participation in extra curricular activities helps the individual student to develop her leadership and inter-personal skills. A wide variety of clubs and sports activities, often initiated by the students, is provided for such growth.
Faculty The administrators, faculty, and staff reflect the school’s Franciscan spirit and commit themselves to ongoing education, living the gospel, and participation in the activities of the school. These modelings of academic, spiritual and personal growth serve to demonstrate an ever present care and concern for the students of Immaculata Academy.
