The Academy was established in the 2004-2005 school year. The students can use all of the facilities of the college-prep high school but study primarily in their own private wing. Often, students take some of the requisite high-school courses in the Academy before enrollment in the High School, enabling them to take more AP courses at the end of their high-school study. The Academy has a budding sports, music, and art program. The students attend all Masses and Prayer Services with the High School. The students of the Academy are paired with "Big Brothers" in the Senior High and often take part in activities with them. The Academy offers advanced curricula in math, science, English, social studies and one foreign language consisting of Spanish, Latin, French, or Chinese.
