A Community That Builds Confidence, Creativity, and Character
Faculty entrust students with a high level of responsibility at a young age and provide a wide variety of inclusive leadership opportunities, including public speaking and presentation skills. Through these experiences, students gain confidence and take full ownership of their learning.
A Culture of Authenticity
The Holy Child Academy culture is built on wholehearted, personal relationships that create the necessary time, space, and support for students to participate in a journey of discovery about themselves and the world around them.
A Sense of Gratitude and a Joyful Spirit
Students are supported by a proactive community of faculty, staff, parents, and peers who can be depended on for personal, enduring relationships that are rooted in unconditional love, respect, and trust.
