I must say I am a little surprised by some of these comments. I have the pleasure of having both an over weight child in the lower grades at HCA and a child in 8th. Grade in my district. My son has never been teased or left out bec. of his size as a matter of fact he is very popular because he is kind and well liked so to say they are judgmental is so off base. I live in one of the best districts on the North Shore where children need a lesson in moral values as well as some of the parents. My daughter attends public school bec. she need resources which at that time 9 yrs. ago HCA could not provide. However today they offer more support than any other private school on long island. HCA is built on family values and respect, not income.
Awesome extracurricular activities. Very positive Fabulous for the average child, however not the best choice for a child who needs additional resources for individual achievement either enrichment or remedial.
Upon entering the beautiful campus you are greeted by a white house appearing to be out of a magazine. the trees and green grass that flank the long drive invite you to the first building. Although they are much like normal school buildings whats inside is much different. Heart and Spirit revolve around every activity and they have a very enriching carriculum. The school it's self is wonderful. i have only one complaint: the children seem very catty. When i attended, I enjoyed the classes teachers and fantastic sports and extracurriculars but was disappointed by the students as i was not the most wealthy child or thinnest. That is one thing i would aim to change perhaps by involving some form of therapy in more words. something to bring the children together.
Holy Child is a wonderful place to learn. They instill respect for others, respect for life, strong sense of value and a wonderful education for those in the early years. The teachers are wonderful and try to help the kids as much as they can. Their middle school needs work. While their academics have improved, I believe they are not where they should be for 2007 and beyond. The middle school sports program is excellent. I have been in this school for almost 20 years with three daughters and have been a dedicated parent with a love for this place that has been enormous. I presently recommend Holy Child Academy from their youngest grades until 4th grade.
