School of the Holy Child

Holy Child continues to be a terrific school for both of my daughters. We as a family were drawn to the school initially because of the small class size; typical class sizes are anywhere from 10-15 girls. The students are encouraged to meet with their teachers individually and have great access to them before, during and after school. The sports program is very good and there is also a commitment to community service that is felt throughout the school. My older daughter will be more than ready for college upon graduation next year.

Holy Child offers a terrific education. Your daughter's strengths will be recognized and she will be encouraged and motivated by teachers and administration to pursue her passions. Holy Child has academically challenging courses, a strong athletic program and amazing extra-curricular programs. Your daughter will thank you for sending her to such a wonderful school.

Holy Child has been an amazing educational experience for my daughter. Young women are encouraged to be independent, critical thinkers, and to challenge themselves both in and out of the classroom. No girl "falls through the cracks" at Holy Child. Whatever her strengths or interests may be, each young woman is expected to pursue her passion, whether it be academics, the arts, athletics or community service. My daughter was more than prepared for her college experience.

Holy Child has been a great school for my daughter. She has loved the small class size, the motivating teachers, the challenging curriculum and the one on one attention. She has been able to take advantage of the extensive sports program, the global programming opportunities and the strong athletic program. She has seen her older school mates go on to thrive at great colleges and she is looking forward to doing the same next year. We feel so fortunate to have found Holy Child and can't recommend it enough for someone looking for a well rounded, challenging and empowering middle and high school experience for their daughters.

The SHC is a nice school, small, and seems like a community. Most of the teachers and head of school are very good people. The academic in this school is around average and my child seems to lack the drive to gain knowledge she had in her former school. Students form 7th grade must have a personal computer, buy all text books, and have a free lunch/after care from the school. I hope teachers in SHC school think outside the box and challenge their students to learn!

I think HC has slipped in quality over the past few years. Teacher turn over at this school is very high, which usually indicates issues with the leadership of the school. My daughter will be a senior and is happy to be leaving soon. She lost both her favorite history teacher and Spanish teacher this year. We are not too keen on the new principal's leadership either.

My daughter went to the middle school for fours years and is now in her second year of high school and still loves it there. This is a college prep school with lap tops a main part of the learning experience. The course selections are bountiful and challenging. The facility overall is sound and very helpful. The atheltic program has come a long way over the past few years. The only negative is teacher turnover rate is high. Overall highly recommended for your young lady.

I'm a student at Holy Child currently and it is an amazing school!! Teachers are always availiable for questions and help via email. It's not a big school so all the students and teachers get to know each other in a way big school do not. It's a laptop school which enhances the learning process due to the many educational websites that are now availiable to students. There are many clubs and sports to take part in and if there isnt a club that interests you than your welcome to create one which many of my friends have done. The parents are involved in every step of their daughters educational live. Its a really good very small school!!

A high quality education, plenty of personal attention. Academics are important here. Very competitive school. Almost everyone goes on to college. College is the key focus for 4 years. Class ranking is stressed. could have better extracurricular activities.
