Through the Salesian spirit of reason, religion, and loving kindness, Academy of Our Lady instills in young women the drive for life-long learning, the skills to succeed in society, and the values to live as Catholic Christians.
Statement of Philosophy
We, at Academy of Our Lady, exist for the catechesis and education of young women.
• We believe in the redemptive power of Christ, experienced in the Sacraments and the Liturgy.
• We honor Mary, under the title of the Immaculate Help of Christians, and inculcate in ourselves and in our students a strong yet loving devotion to her.
• We live the spirituality of St. John Bosco and
St. Mary Mazzarello as articulated in the Preventive System of Education and we strive to live the Salesian Family Spirit.
• We adhere to the policies and standards given by the Archdiocese of New Orleans under the guidance of Archbishop Alfred Hughes.
• We educate as a Salesian school, under the administration of the Daughters of Mary Help of Christians (Salesian Sisters of St. John Bosco).
• We recognize our role as partners with the parents in the formation and the education of their children.
• We believe that all students can learn and that they learn best when they are actively engaged in the learning process.
• We strive to provide an environment that is conducive to learning, that fosters critical thinking, that instills values, and that nurtures
