VISION STATEMENT Oldenburg Academy of the Immaculate Conception will be the outstanding co-‐educational Catholic college preparatory high school in southeastern Indiana where students of diverse backgrounds are embraced and celebrated. We will build and support an active campus ministry program, continue to develop a challenging academic curriculum, sustain our premier fine arts program, and offer a wide selection of athletic and other co-‐curricular activities. Technology will be incorporated throughout the curriculum and campus. We will provide a positive working environment that employs a well-‐qualified and highly committed faculty and staff. We will maintain a strong partnership with our sponsors, the Sisters of St. Francis, as well as community members and alumni. We will promote good stewardship of our resources to ensure the financial stability of the Academy. PHILOSOPHY OF EDUCATION Oldenburg Academy of the Immaculate Conception is keenly aware of its role in the education and formation of each student in the school. As a Catholic institution, the Academy strives to instill in each student Christian attitudes and values and to provide a curriculum and activities that will educate the whole person – spiritually, intellectually, emotionally, socially, culturally, and physically – and prepare that student for a place in a complex and ever-‐changing world. The Academy believes that in fulfilling this purpose it will best aid in the development of complete, well-‐adjusted Christian adults. HISTORY OF OLDENBURG ACADEMY Oldenburg Academy of the Immaculate Conception opened its doors in 1852 when the Sisters of St. Francis assumed operation of the village school and boarded young girls from the local area. Catholic education was non-‐existent and the ladies were admitted as boarders at the convent. The first commencement was held in 1862 with an elaborate program, and in 1885, the Academy of the Immaculate Conception was officially chartered in the state of Indiana, offering both elementary and secondary education. In 1941, the elementary grades were discontinued. In 1999, Oldenburg Academy became a co-‐educational institution welcoming young men for the first time into its freshmen class. Today, Oldenburg Academy continues the tradition of offering a quality Catholic secondary education in southeastern Indiana. 4 | P age
