The Honors Program

Holy Family Academy provides a rigorous, college preparatory curriculum to all students. To ensure that all students are able to meet their academic goals, HFA offers an Honors track for each high school class.

Students with a minimum GPA of 3.7 may take the Honors level of a course. Students completing the Honors level of a course meet at the regularly scheduled class time and, with exceptions, complete the regular assignments. The Honors level of a course includes the following elements: studying advanced subject matter, doing independent reading, writing reports and essays, completing a research project, and taking more difficult tests. Students enroll in the Honors level and are allowed to take the Honors level of some classes but not others. The specific requirements for the Honors level of a course are detailed in the syllabus. Some classes are Honors for all students either because they are Dual-Enrollment college courses (with SNHU) or the entire course content is very advanced. Honors classes are graded according to the 5.0 scale.
