Middle School at HFA
Vision & Purpose
Beginning in the 2026-2027 school year
Our mission at Holy Family Academy in the elementary school years has been to blend many of the best parts of both homeschooling and traditional school together. As students enter the middle school years, the need for developing positive peer groups, accountability, responsibility, and independence increases! The need for a strong family and faith influence, as always, remains.
To help families fulfill both sides of our middle schoolers’ needs, we propose to continue that close partnership between parents and teachers in the middle school years but with a few growths and adjustments beyond HFA K-6th.
Our main objectives are:
-
Provide a deeply and thoughtfully Catholic education in the classical tradition
-
Provide friendship, community, and support during the middle school years for homeschooling parents and students
-
Provide academic rigor and accountability
-
Provide students with opportunities to take responsibility and leadership in the school and for their own development
