Immaculata High School (also known as Immaculata or IHS) is a private, coeducational, Roman Catholic high school in Somerville, in Somerset County, New Jersey, United States. Founded in 1962, Immaculata High School operates within the Roman Catholic Diocese of Metuchen. The School is also served by a group of Sisters, Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, who live in a convent attached to the main building of the school. Many of the Sisters teach different subjects in the school's curriculum. Immaculata High School has been accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Secondary Schools since 1978.
As of the 2013-14 school year, the school had an enrollment of 609 students and 60.9 faculty members (on an FTE basis), resulting in a student–teacher ratio of 10.0:1.
The program of studies at Immaculata strives to meet the needs of all students in developing their abilities and talents. The curriculum is planned to permit the student to select college preparatory courses, business courses or a combination of both. The objectives of the total curriculum are to impart spiritual, intellectual, cultural, physical, and social values.
During the 1997-98 school year, Immaculata High School was recognized with the Blue Ribbon School Award of Excellence by the United States Department of Education, the highest award an American school can receive.
A total of 132 credits are necessary for graduation. This includes Theology, which is required each year at Immaculata High School. Students must select six major subjects yearly. Prerequisites for upper level courses are determined by the respective departments and must be met for entry into those respective courses. These courses help to not only build the students knowledge of the world but to also give them a broad overview of topics that could help them better prepare for their intended major in higher education.
