What Holy Family Catholic Academy-Irving, Texas does

Holy Family Catholic Academy (HFCA) is a private, non-profit Catholic parochial school serving students from Pre-K 3 through 8th grade from a single campus at 2323 Cheyenne Street in Irving, Texas. HFCA was formed in Fall 2016 through the merger of Holy Family Catholic School (founded 1965 by the Sisters of the Holy Family of Nazareth) and St. Luke Catholic School (founded 1955 as Irving's first Catholic school), and operates under the oversight of the Diocese of Dallas Catholic Schools Office. The academy describes itself as one of the most diverse Catholic schools in the DFW metropolitan area, with a student body that is 66% Hispanic and includes first-generation families from African, Asian, South/Central American, and North American backgrounds.

The school's core academic product spans three divisions — Early Childhood Education (Pre-K 3 & 4), Elementary School (Grades 1-5), and Middle School (Grades 6-8) — supplemented by an International Baccalaureate (IB) Candidate School program (PYP and MYP) for which HFCA is the only parochial school in Texas in the accreditation process. Curriculum delivery is supported by third-party technology, including the IXL diagnostic and learning platform and the RenWeb/FACTS school management system. Extracurricular offerings include Athletics & Clubs (volleyball, cross country, basketball via the Dallas Parochial League, plus Student Council, National Junior Honor Society, and Chess Club), Academic Competitions (Science Fair, Religion Bowl, Spelling Bee), an After Care Program (3:45-6:00 pm), and Spiritual Formation (weekly Friday Mass, daily faith instruction, and sacrament preparation for Reconciliation, First Eucharist, and Confirmation).

HFCA's revenue model is tuition-driven (Pre-K through 8th grade), with payment options of a single annual payment or 11 monthly installments through FACTS, a non-refundable $40 application fee for new students, and recurring After Care fees ($100/week or $15/day). Tuition amounts are not publicly disclosed; financial assistance is available through Diocesan Scholarships, ACE Scholarships, the Jethsuby Scholarship Fund, and Texas Education Freedom Accounts (TEFA) up to $10,000 per eligible student and up to $30,000 for students with diagnosed disabilities. Distribution is community-based, relying on parish referrals (Holy Family of Nazareth Catholic Church), the Diocese of Dallas directory, school open houses and tours, organic social (Facebook, Instagram), and the FACTS online application portal.
