Nazareth Academy– 1897 to 1964

Nazareth Academy was established in 1897 β€œto provide a thorough training for girls and young ladies.”  Sister Mary Hastings was the first directress.  The earliest catalog, printed in 1899, presents a curriculum for primary, intermediate, and high school grades.  By 1914 it was a primary and secondary school that offered junior college level course which later led to the opening of Nazareth College.  The Academy closed in 1964.
