Review school

Holy Family School provides a quality faith-based education at a price affordable to the community it serves. Rigorous academics are complemented by a strong program in character education and by attention to the children's spiritual growth.   The culture within our beautiful new building is one of safety, calm, and control. Every day the students and staff set the tone of excellence by reciting their own mission statement, in which they pledge to be "the best we can be, each and every day."

Special features: We provide middle school choice of "specials" that include choir, technology, and art. Gym is required for everyone. Chapel is held every week. Student Council is active. Our school also boasts many extracurricular activities in the after-school program, including boys' and girls' basketball, two choirs, volleyball, track, robotics, drama, drumming, and tech games.

Outcomes:   School test scores from 3rd thru 8th exceed the national mean in the core subjects. A generation of successful alumni are the result. 83% of our 2012 grads entered high schools at which the average ACT score matched or exceeded that of the State of Il overall.   Eighty-seven percent (87%) of alumni report having enrolled in college.

About Girls' Schools: In Their Words

Published April 15, 2013

Here are a dozen or so girls' schools' public thoughts about themselves and their missions.

Make Summer a Special Time!
If you have children in private school, then you are most likely looking at three months, perhaps even longer, which you must fill with activities of one kind or another during the long summer break.

Are You Liable?
Is your DEL key about to get gaveled? It doesn't matter whether you teach in a public or private school setting. You expose yourself to legal risks every single day on the job.
