Discover Holy Child Academy

Inspired by the vision and ideals of educator Cornelia Connelly, Holy Child Academy lays the foundation for a lifetime of excellence, achievement and service.

Enriching Students' Development

From Montessori materials in Early Childhood classrooms to STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics) education in Pre-K to eighth grade, students are motivated to learn and are challenged by their teachers.

Self-confident. Conscientious. Motivated.

Small classes allow students to discover their unique gifts; strong academics instill a lifelong love of learning; and a vibrant arts and athletics program enrich the students' development.

Nurturing Respect, Responsibility and Generosity

Providing moral and religious guidance, a solid academic foundation, and communication and technology skills for the future, Holy Child Academy nurtures strong citizens and capable leaders.

Foundation for a Lifetime of Achievement

Holy Child Academy alumni play an important role in the life of the school. We enjoy seeing alumni return to HCA—whether it's to say hello, attend the school play or volunteer at an admissions event.

Making a Difference

Generous support by alumni, parents and friends makes the extraordinary possible at Holy Child Academy. From attending the annual HCA auction to donating to the Innovation Lab, our supporters advance the Holy Child Academy mission in many ways.
