Nora Cronin Presentation Academy (NCPA) educates low income, young women of the Hudson Valley to become leaders of tomorrow. Our vision is to break the cycle of poverty through education and mentorship consistent with the mission of the Sisters of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Nora Cronin Presentation Academy, a Catholic middle school for young women, promotes Gospel values with special emphasis on faith, hope, justice, freedom and human dignity. We call our students to a kinship of care of Earth, to foster peace and give back to their communities.
