Holy Family Academy teaches students from the 7th-12th grade in the Roman Catholic classical tradition and employs the Socratic method of teaching. The Academy has been named to the Catholic High School Honor Roll, which lists the top 50 Catholic high schools in the United States. It is independently operated within the Roman Catholic Diocese of Manchester. 

HFA offers a classical liberal arts curriculum consisting primarily of original texts that speak across the ages. The books are chosen for their great wisdom about human nature, the nature of the world, and the meaning of life. Occasionally, the original classics in the HFA curriculum are supplemented by excellent textbooks that are useful for reference, because they treat a subject matter in a systemized and linear manner. 

 The HFA Curriculum is designed to cultivate intellectual habits and skills in the students. The course of studies is firmly rooted in the trivium—grammar, dialectic, and rhetoric, and the quadrivium—arithmetic, geometry, astronomy, and music. The curriculum also includes subjects that either build upon the foundation of the liberal arts, for example, philosophy, or are rooted in divine revelation, for example, theology.
