Dear Holy Savior Academy Family and Friends,
A little more than 10 years ago, the Pastors of the Middlebrook Deanery had a vision for a new, stronger, more educationally relevant school for 21st Century students. That vision led to the creation of Holy Savior Academy, a unique school governed by a Board of Limited Jurisdiction and serving a diverse population of children from ages three to fourteen.
At Holy Savior Academy, we are committed to academic excellence, as well as spiritual, social, and emotional formation, which ensures that each and every child is prepared to succeed in today’s world and is able to successfully achieve his or her individual goals. Our school’s teachings and principles are built upon Five Pillars of Faith, Scholarship, Respect, Partnership, and Service. We strongly believe in developing Catholic values in our children and work diligently to establish an environment where they feel safe, respected, and eager and excited to learn.
That eagerness and excitement found in our students is due to the efforts of our passionate and highly qualified faculty and staff. Each day our teachers create a variety of learning opportunities which are student-centered with a special emphasis on building strong foundations and mastery-level learning. Learning opportunities are varied through the use of technology, differentiation, and hands-on challenging instruction. We believe that children learn with their minds, their hearts, and their hands.
Our commitment to each child goes beyond personal academic excellence. Holy Savior Academy offers a variety of extracurricular and athletic activities, providing the opportunity to learn about teamwork, leadership, and good sportsmanship. It is within these experiences that our children grow, are empowered, and able to recognize their God-given talents.
We are thankful to our parents who have chosen Holy Savior Academy for their child’s education. We also appreciate our parents’ active involvement in our school, sharing their talents and time to better the opportunities within Holy Savior Academy and our surrounding community.
Anyone visiting our school can immediately see how truly special we are!
May God continue to bless you.
