School Notes Overview: |
The education is strong and the bonds of community are lasting here. Love, respect and compassion are the underpinnings which support the people, the place and the programs that make us who we are. For over 75 years, the Dominican Sisters and their colleagues have nurtured the dreams, intellectual curiosity and goals of young women in a quiet yet powerful way. We celebrate the achievements of the thousands of young women who have passed through our doors and look with hope to the many young women who come to share the joys of our Flintridge family. FSHA supports an atmosphere where cultural, ethnic and economic diversity are prized, where academic challenge is expected, and where the Dominican philosophy governing the Catholic education is lived, a philosophy that recognizes the intrinsic worth of each person. The school has not wavered in its commitment to values, women’s dignity and equality, cultural diversity, or to single-gender college preparatory education. This unique balance of academic excellence and moral integrity is the foundation of "the Flintridge experience." ...read more

- Academic excellence is the core of Flintridge, and the school’s broad curriculum prepares graduates well for their journey into higher education.
- As with virtually all Flintridge alumnae, one hundred percent of the Class of 2007 will attend college. These talented young women were the recipients of many academic, athletic and leadership scholarships at a variety of universities and colleges throughout the country.
- Students at each grade level participate in spiritual retreats led by adult and trained peer counselors, and include one- and two-day retreats for underclasswomen, a four-day retreat to Catalina Island for juniors, and two days of prayer and a four-day Kairos retreat for seniors.
- Students are trained as peer leaders in LIFE (Living in Faith Experience), as Journey leaders and as Kairos leaders, all of whom help lead retreats.
- The visual and performing arts program has, from the school’s inception, always been a vital part of the Flintridge curriculum. In addition to being able to select from a wide variety of arts classes, students present a full-scale musical production each year, plus a drama or comedy on the alternate semester.
- Members of the school’s dance companies, and from all dance classes, stage a dance concert in the spring of each year, featuring not only Flintridge dancers but also student choreography. Dance students also perform in the annual musical.
- Four musical recitals are held each year to showcase piano, chamber music, orchestra, advanced musicians and vocal technique. Student musicians may also play for school liturgies, the student musical and at graduation.
- Art students display their work at the annual art show while also contributing their talents by helping produce backdrops for theatrical productions and illustrating the school’s literary magazine.
- The Academy believes that the opportunity for participation in selected athletic activities is a vital part of the educational experience.
- Freshmen must take a full year of Physical Education/Health, but all students are encouraged to try out for a team. Consistently, well over 70 percent of the student body in any given year participates in athletics.
- Clubs are busy. Time is set aside each week for members to meet and plan activities, which may range from a bake sale by the math club and a mime-a-thon by Thespians to a limerick contest by the literary glub club or “toga day” by the Latin club.
- Approximately 25 percent of the Academy’s student body receives some form of scholarship or financial aid. During the 2006-07 academic year, close to $600,000 was awarded in financial aid to qualified students.
- Additionally, between four and six incoming freshmen who demonstrate outstanding achievement in academics, entrance exam results, co-curricular activities, service to school and community, and based on teacher/principal recommendations receive merit scholarships ranging from $2,000 to $8,000.
- The original mission-style buildings, which were designed in 1927 by noted Southern California architect Myron Hunt, overlook the San Gabriel Valley and the Pasadena Rose Bowl from the crest of the San Rafael hills.
