The Benedictine pillars of “community”, “prayer”, “work”, and “study” can be readily seen at work in SSA’s various programs, clubs, and Honor Societies. Each has been created or established to allow our girls to freely express themselves socially, spiritually, and academically as they grow in sisterhood.
School Programs
Our school programs foster spiritual and individual growth by raising awareness of who each girl is as a daughter of God. As the girls grow, they can bond with their sisters, creating friendships that will last a lifetime.
List of 6 items.
Big Sis/Little Sis
