It is pretty impressive that most of the activities found in larger high schools are found here without the intimidation factor. When I went to this school, everyone was given a choice: you either got involved or you were made to get involved. Most girls do become leaders here, because they are encouraged to and because they see that they CAN become leaders. The opportunities are not available only to the really smart, really athletic, or really popular. You just don't find that here. The school is realistic.
The athletics could be better, but they do have a great softball and volleyball team. I think this school really focuses more on academics. When my daughter went there, they made every effort to have her work, and even made her stop participating in her team for a while. I appreciate that now, because it's high-school, not high-basketball. Sometimes when you're a parent you forget that although you want your child to be happy, you really want them to do well and get into a good college. My daughter pulled through and although she struggled in school, she always had the support of teachers, and I was always made aware of what was going on with her grades. I can't complain.
My daughter is a graduate of The Academy, and now at 25, she is an innovative musician, a published writer, and hardworking mental health specialist. She currently aspires to a career in international politics. She has played for The Army and The Marines. She has worked with the homeless, the hungry, the young, and the old. This quality of accomplishment was nurtured while she attended The Academy of Saint Aloysius. I did not have to worry about her. She was in good hands, and that has been proven to me over the years.
