Academics
Every day at Holy Child, we inspire our girls to become leaders who will shape the future with integrity, courage, and vision. Through thoughtfully curated projects, opportunities, and experiences, we develop young women of conscience and action who will "meet the wants of the age."
No matter when a girl arrives at Holy Child, we envision her graduation day as a celebration of leadership and personal growth. She will leave as the best version of herself—intellectual, courageous, confident, compassionate, and spiritual—ready to lead in whatever path she chooses.
Holy Child challenges our girls to transform their emerging interests into purposeful pursuits that foster excellence and ignite lifelong passions. We create an environment that inspires “joy in teaching and joy in learning,” a foundational approach rooted in the vision of our founder, Cornelia Connelly. Our individualized approach to scholarship nurtures independent thought while fostering meaningful collaboration—key qualities of effective leadership.

At Holy Child, we cultivate leadership through experiential learning. Upper School students become global, creative thinkers by engaging in real-world experiences—whether visiting corporations, exploring cultural institutions, or participating in local and international service. These opportunities help our students grow as confident leaders both in and out of the classroom.
Our dedicated faculty foster a supportive and collaborative environment where each student is known, valued, and encouraged to reach her potential. Challenging academics, personal attention, and opportunities beyond the classroom define the Holy Child experience, empowering students to discover their passions and lead with purpose.
Students receive personalized guidance in course selection, graduation requirements, and college admissions. We encourage each student to pursue the most ambitious program in which she can thrive, with tailored schedules designed to build on individual strengths.

At the Middle School at Holy Child, we nurture curiosity, creativity, and leadership. Our students develop character, confidence, and compassion while becoming engaged local and global citizens. Inspired by our founder Cornelia Connelly’s vision of “joy in teaching, joy in learning,” we create an environment where students find joy in the learning process.
Our program challenges students to achieve their personal best through a dynamic curriculum that includes language arts, social studies, foreign language, religion, science, math, technology, the arts, and hands-on projects. Whether building robots, exploring science labs, performing on stage, or engaging in service-learning, students grow as leaders through experiential learning and collaboration.
We encourage students to embrace challenges and step outside their comfort zones, fostering independence and resilience. Through meaningful connections and shared experiences—both in the classroom and on trips—Holy Child girls grow into confident young leaders ready for the next stage of their journey.
