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.
