Immaculate Anticipates the Class of 2023 to Continue Its Legacy of Excellence
Immaculate High School has been busy welcoming the Class of 2023. IHS is very excited about the new freshman class and believes that these students will continue Immaculate’s legacy of excellence.
Students and parents attended Accepted Student Night to learn more about all that IHS offers, and many prospective students became Mustangs for a Day, shadowing current students to see what a day in the life of a Mustang is all about. Tom Burns, Admissions Director, was always available, meeting with students and parents to answer any questions and introduce them to the wonderful academic, athletic, fine arts and other programs Immaculate offers. Mr. Burns even travelled to China in January to interview prospective students.
The main thing that Mr. Burns shared with new students and their parents is that Immaculate High School is high school as high school should be. A modern college preparatory curriculum combined with traditional Catholic values is the heart of Immaculate’s mission, and there is so much more. In addition to a college-preparatory academic program that offers over 33 Advanced Placement classes and a STEAM curriculum featuring advanced technology, a CISCO certification program, renovated science labs and engineering classes, Immaculate High School has an award-winning Fine Arts program, a student career internship program, athletic teams that have won SWC and State Championships, 44 clubs and a community service and Campus Ministry program that instills faith, compassion and reverence for others. Community service is also stressed; in 2018 students performed 27,794 hours of community service. In the 2019-20 school year, Immaculate will be offering additional business courses as well as a Certified Nursing Associate program.
Immaculate High School, ranked by Niche as a top ten best private college-prep high school in Fairfield County, has the highest student SAT scores in the Diocese of Bridgeport schools. Based on a four-year study of student college recognitions, Immaculate High School reports a return on tuition investment that yields three times the investment when attending Immaculate High School. Most recently, 90% of the Class of 2018 were awarded college scholarships and grants totaling $20 million and 100% of the students are attending highly respected colleges and universities, with 95% of them being accepted to their first or second choice colleges and universities. The top 10% of students achieved an average 1309 SAT score and nearly 75% of the class earned a GPA of 3.5 or higher.
“There is no doubt that Immaculate High School provides an excellent education that allows students to learn, serve, lead and explore their interests and talents so that they succeed in high school and beyond,” said Mr. Burns.
