Dear Visitor,

 

Fontbonne Hall Academy has been a leader in educating young women for more than 71 years. We are a college-preparatory school with a mission to offer a superior educational program while forming and empowering young women of confidence and compassion. Located in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, our students come from southwest Brooklyn, southern Queens and Staten Island.

 

We hope that this brief visit gives you a feeling for who we are at Fontbonne. If you are looking for a high school which will challenge you academically, enrich you spiritually and give you many opportunities for forming lasting and wonderful memories, THINK FONTBONNE!

 

We are proud of  our 143 graduates from the Class of 2010 who earned $18.2 million dollars in scholarships as they planned their futures at  Georgetown, Columbia University, Johns Hopkins, Penn State, NYU, Catholic University of America and other outstanding schools.

 

The incoming members of the Class of  2014 have  already shown their enthusiasm at their orientation day, and I am certain that they will follow  the example of their Senior sisters in the Class of 2011.

 

Please watch our site for announcements about our special events, and feel free to contact us if you have any questions.

 

The coming year promises to be an exciting one. Come visit us at our Open House on October 17 from 12:30—3:30 PM , and picture yourself at Fontbonne.

 

Sincerely,

Sister Dolores F. Crepeau, CSJ

Principal
