Mary Help of Christians Academy is a Salesian all-girls, Roman Catholic high school in North Haledon, in Passaic County, New Jersey, United States. It is located in the Roman Catholic Diocese of Paterson.
School's Mission: Mary Help of Christians Academy is committed to making an integral Catholic college-prep accessible to young women of diverse backgrounds. Our mission is to provide a student-centered learning environment within a family atmosphere that embodies the Salesian philosophy of reason, religion, and loving kindness as taught by St. John Bosco and St. Mary Mazzarello. We challenge our students to develop their potential and to dedicate themselves to academic excellence, faith, leadership and service as they take their place in our rapidly changing and pluralistic society.
As of the 20011-12 school year, the school had an enrollment of 296 students and 35.5 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 10.8.[1]

Currently, the academy has a small boarding program, but the majority of students are day students. Also present at the academy are summer programs for younger children in which students at the Academy volunteer their time as camp counselors.[3]
