Immaculate Heart Academy
Our college preparatory school is dedicated to empowering the next generation of leaders by challenging our impressive young women to develop their God-given talents for a future filled with endless possibilities and a lifetime of service to others, spiritual growth, pursuit of scholarship, and unbreakable sisterhood.
Service
IHA students put their Faith into action by serving their immediate community and ministering to people in need through interactive service opportunities. By participating in the IHA Service Program, students apply their Catholic values by practicing them in projects that expand the students’ awareness of God, others, and themselves.
Sisterhood
On the athletic field, in the classroom, on the stage, or at a service event, the IHA sisterhood is on full display. Daily acts of compassion, encouragement, and kindness are truly inspirational and are at the heart of the unbreakable IHA sisterhood that lasts a lifetime.
Spirituality
Forming students as young women who embody the Gospel is at the center of IHA's mission. Over the four years our students spend at IHA, they are continuously invited to dive deeper into their Catholic faith and further their relationship with God.
Scholarship
IHA offers an extensive curriculum that fosters intellectual growth, creative curiosity, and a sense of values that prepare students to embrace a college curriculum with enthusiasm. We strive to prepare and challenge our students with an increased level of difficulty by offering four levels of rigorous classes.
Named Best Private School in Bergen County, New Jersey, Immaculate Heart Academy prides itself on being an excellent choice for those interested in attending a Catholic, all-girls regional high school. Our impressive young women learn in a single-sex atmosphere that encourages academic excellence, artistic immersion, athletic competition, and Christian Service. By both cultivating the traditional Christian values of the Roman Catholic Church and upholding exceptional college preparatory standards, IHA offers a unique and unmatched private educational experience.
