Student Life
House System
Our Lady of Walsingham Academy’s House system is drawn from the tradition of Christian education exemplified in the colleges at Oxford and Cambridge. Our House names pay homage to English martyrs whose courage and devotion became legend and, in the face of adversity, provided encouragement and example to subsequent generations of the faithful. The House system gives students opportunity to take ownership, fulfill the call to leadership, and to cultivate the ideal conditions for virtue.

Spiritual Life
Nurturing the Spiritual Life
Catholicism is central to our mission. For this reason, every school day begins with Mass. We teach theology out of the Bible, the Catechism of the Catholic Church, and papal documents. Other important ways we live the faith include annual pilgrimages and retreats, modest and wholesome extracurricular activities, and sacred art and crucifixes adorn the hall and the classrooms.
Faith In Our Schools
- Each day begins with daily Mass
- Weekly opportunities for Adoration
- Retreats, Confession, and Spiritual Formation
- Faith incorporated into every subject
- Chaplains and regular visits from priests and religious
Pilgrimages
Our Lady of Walsingham Academy will provide opportunities for students to go on pilgrimage. In addition to the March for Life and local pilgrimages, Walsingham students travel to Rome and Assisi, Italy. They encounter relics from the saints, sing for the Holy Father and see in real life the wonders of the ancient churches in the Eternal City.
