Strengthening faith, Enlightening minds, Transforming hearts… One student at a time.
Transfiguration Academy recognizes that we are called to respond to the academic, spiritual and corporal needs of our students and the community we serve.
The Faculty commits its energies and talents to providing a faith-based education to the youth entrusted to its care. We believe that intellectual growth is an ongoing, lifelong process. Our comprehensive curriculum is designed to afford our students the opportunity to achieve academic excellence, develop basic and critical thinking skills and develop their creative, God-given gifts. Students are encouraged to explore and work toward a balance of all aspects of their education.
Believing that every individual is unique, we endeavor to nurture each student intellectually, spiritually, socially and personally. Recognizing the varying abilities of our students, we encourage each student to reach his/her full potential. Within a positive learning environment, creativity, independent thinking and an enthusiasm for learning are challenges we strive to meet. We support our students in their need to develop self-esteem, and physical well-being. We seek to instill life values of truth, honesty, peace, justice, patriotism and an awareness of social and personal responsibilities for each other and the community at large. Our students are encouraged to respect cultural differences and appreciate the richness they offer to our community.
We recognize and value the need for a positive working relationship among Administration, Faculty, Parents and Students. Good communication skills help form a valuable partnership, ensuring growth and maturity. Parents, as the primary educators of their children, must create an atmosphere of mutual support, respect and responsibility for all members of the community. Parent participation through School Board and Home-School Association membership is encouraged and greatly appreciated. Parents actively provide assistance in the financial, social and communicative areas of our educational system.
Discover excellence at Transfiguration Academy!
Our Faculty is a dedicated, experienced team of professionals who encourage, support and respect one another in the educational process. They work diligently in a spirit of collegiality to enrich the Transfiguration Academy Community. As facilitators of the learning process, the Faculty strives for academic excellence. Recognition and attention to the individual needs of all students is first prioritized by the classroom teacher, and then other supportive agencies are employed to help in the educational system, where necessary. Our students are encouraged to discover and share their gifts and to serve one another in a spirit of faith and love. Students are taught mutual responsibility as well as the worth of a healthy spirit of cooperation and competition in their daily activities. We strive to create a caring environment which serves to motivate and enrich the educational quality of student life.
The Administrator of Transfiguration Academy is called to motivate the school community, provide leadership and witness a commitment to education with loyalty and allegiance to the school community. Within Archdiocesan guidelines, the administrator is responsible for the implementation and modification of local educational policy, assessing curriculum needs, and the employment, development and evaluation of teachers.
Students participate in annual national testing programs designated by the Archdiocese. Parents receive a home report giving them national and local standings. Results can be reviewed with the teachers and/or the Principal. Individual student capabilities are also determined through regular testing and frequent teacher observation. Curriculum needs and changes are then determined and the necessity for additional educational aids are suggested and implemented, where necessary.
Transfiguration Academy is dedicated to achieving academic excellence. Supported by our co-sponsoring parish communities, we strive to teach and energize our students in all areas of growth and development. An academic, value-oriented curriculum, based on spiritual values, enables our students to reach their full potential, and to become productive citizens and valuable members of society.
