Immaculate Heart Academy (IHA), an all-girls regional Catholic school in NJ, was founded in 1960 as the first regional high school for girls in the Archdiocese of Newark. Our mission is to provide quality Catholic education to young women in an atmosphere characterized by respect for the individual, Christian community, and a high level of family involvement. IHA girls also learn in an environment that encourages academic excellence, artistic immersion, and Christian Service.
