OUR MISSION
Our mission statement takes direct inspiration from the first and only Marian apparition in the United States officially approved by the Catholic Church. On October 9, 1859, near what is now Champion, Wisconsin, during the third of three encounters, the Blessed Virgin Mary identified herself to Sister Adele Brise as the “Queen of Heaven.” Our Lady gave Sister Adele a mission: “Gather the children in this wild country, and teach them what they need to know for their salvation.”
Through a strict adherence to the Catholic Faith and the Mass of All Ages, our approach will provide our children with a strong understanding of objective truth, a deep love of familial beauty and virtue, and the discipline to always perceive, pursue, and persevere in their Catholic duty of state.
WHY HOLY FAMILY ACADEMY?
A School that Catholic Parents Can Trust
Holy Family Academy was founded in the Fall of 2021 by a group of homeschooling parents who wanted to give their children the opportunity to receive an excellent classical education in a setting that fosters love of traditional Roman Catholicism and specifically of the Traditional Latin Mass. In a society that often portrays tradition as simply “out of touch,” the founding members of Holy Family Academy realized that they needed to start a school that would resist the latest pedagogical fads in favor of what is timeless and true. They wanted to give their children an excellent education, but also to facilitate and support other families wishing to do the same. Traditional values and timeless truths are under attack from every direction, and Holy Family Academy aims to be the solution for many parents who are concerned about where they might send their children without fear of the progressivist indoctrination so prevalent in most of the present-day educational infrastructure. In short, our school is meant to foster a culture that the world has tried to eradicate.
