An all-female college preparatory high school in the Archdiocese of Newark, Immaculate Heart Academy (IHA) focuses on the complete education of young women by cultivating traditional Christian values while upholding exceptional academic standards. Along with its rigorous academic program, which includes four levels of classes and 24 Advanced Placement courses, IHA develops every aspect of the individual by educating the mind, nurturing the spirit and promoting a healthy lifestyle.
At IHA, women develop independence, confidence and accountability as they pursue opportunities to foster their interests, academic strengths and longterm career objectives. “A strong theme that permeates our curriculum and activities is the development of the special and unique God-given talents that our young women can bring to society,” says Kerry Carroll, principal of IHA.
IHA’s Scholae@theheart Program enables students to investigate areas for postsecondary education and pursue extracurricular experiences to support their learning, explore potential career goals and capitalize on their strengths and interests. The school also recognizes student achievements through 10 national honor societies and offers more than 70 clubs and 16 athletic programs.
Students regularly put their faith into action by serving their community and ministering to those in need through an array of service opportunities, and the sense of community within the building is unmatched—the IHA sisterhood lasts a lifetime. “Our students graduate IHA as compassionate and empowered young women in control of their futures and prepared for a lifetime of achievements and service to others,” Carroll says.
