The Academy of the Holy Family (AHF), a Catholic college prep school for young women, was founded in 1874. A small school with a family atmosphere is located in the village of Baltic, Connecticut. The Academy has educated young women from the United States and abroad. We are located in the New England countryside approximately two hours away from Boston and three hours from New York City.

A tight-knit school community, AHF offers its students the opportunity to express their faith and learn in a comfortable atmosphere. Classes are small, enabling students to receive individual attention. Courses offered include college prep, honors and some advanced placement classes. Our international students have English as a Second Language (ESL) and English for ESL classes. The faculty consists of both religious and lay persons.

After school extra-curricular activities include seasonal sports and numerous clubs. There is something for everyone. Following extra-curricular activities, boarding students participate in supervised afternoon and evening study halls Mondays through Thursdays, and an afternoon study hall on Sundays. On weekends our boarding students participate in a variety of cultural and recreational activities, in addition to the traditional Friday night suppers at various restaurants, many times including a shopping stop.

Our young women are confident, active in the community and graduate from AHF, ready to attend various colleges and universities. At the Academy we strive to "Pursue knowledge; embrace the truths of Christ; respond to the needs of others." We have offered an excellent education for over 130 years - providing a foundation for women all over the world. We often hear from our alumnae and realize the impact the Academy has made on them- successful careers, yes, as well as bringing a sense of family to wherever their path in life has taken them. When alumnae stop in for a visit, they often express a sense of "coming home" to the Academy. Our young women, our students, carry on a living legacy of faith and good citizenship. AHF is truly a place "Where Friends Become Family."
