As with virtually all Flintridge alumnae, one hundred percent of the Class of 2008 will attend college. These talented young women were the recipients of many academic, athletic and leadership scholarships at a variety of universities and colleges throughout the country.

Students at each grade level participate in spiritual retreats led by adult and trained peer counselors, and include one- and two-day retreats for underclasswomen, a four-day retreat to Catalina Island for juniors, and two days of prayer and a four-day Kairos retreat for seniors.

Students are trained as peer leaders in LIFE (Living in Faith Experience), as Journey leaders and as Kairos leaders, all of whom help lead retreats.

The visual and performing arts program has, from the school inception, always been a vital part of the Flintridge curriculum. In addition to being able to select from a wide variety of arts classes, students present a full-scale musical production each year, plus a drama or comedy on the alternate semester.

Members of the school dance companies, and from all dance classes, stage a dance concert in the spring of each year, featuring not only Flintridge dancers but also student choreography. Dance students also perform in the annual musical.

Four musical recitals are held each year to showcase piano, chamber music, orchestra, advanced musicians and vocal technique. Student musicians may also play for school liturgies, the student musical and at graduation.

Art students display their work at the annual art show while also contributing their talents by helping produce backdrops for theatrical productions and illustrating the school literary magazine.

The Academy believes that the opportunity for participation in selected athletic activities is a vital part of the educational experience.

Freshmen must take a full year of Physical Education/Health, but all students are encouraged to try out for a team. Consistently, well over 70 percent of the student body in any given year participates in athletics.

Clubs are busy. Time is set aside each week for members to meet and plan activities, which may range from a bake sale by the math club and a mime-a-thon by Thespians to a limerick contest by the literary glub club or oga day by the Latin club.

Flintridge is home to approximately 51 boarding students, many of whom are international students who travel a considerable distance to attend. All boarding students will find a safe, structured, nurturing and caring environment, which provides a truly global learning experience that contributes to the character of the school.
