Presentation Academy

Who We Are

Louisville’s original Catholic school, Presentation Academy is a college preparatory academy for young women. Founded by Mother Catherine Spalding and the Sisters of Charity of Nazareth, we have been educating future women leaders since 1831. Members of the Class of 2024 were accepted to 50 colleges and universities and performed 3,500 hours of community service.

Pres Girls come from more than 35 zip codes across Kentuckiana. We are a sisterhood who welcomes students from all backgrounds. With diversity at our core, inclusivity and individuality aren’t only encouraged, they’re necessary.

Why your donation matters

All donations through Give For Good Louisville contribute to the Annual Fund, which benefits all Pres Girls. About 75% of our students receive financial aid or a scholarship to attend. Help make a Pres Catholic school education a reality for our students!

Mission Statement
In the spirit of Catherine Spalding and the Sisters of Charity of Nazareth, Presentation Academy strives to create a diverse educational community that challenges young women to develop their greatest potential as leaders in a global society.
