Holy Child Academy

When I toured HCA about 6 years ago, my plan was to stay for kindergarten and head out for first grade. However, the sense of community, caring, and commitment here are what keep me coming back. I have never really seen in any other school the way the children respond to each other, teacher/student relationships might be good, but the student/student relationship can be isolating by grade or other demographic. The students genuinely seem to like each other and are all about inclusion. The school teaches compassion and empathy alongside academics, which cannot be undervalued. There are so many wonderful things to say about HCA, the community outreach and the family events; the special programs for holidays and extended family members; the sports program, music and arts programs. It's an amazing place that I am very happy to be a part of.

I feel so lucky to have found HCA for my two boys. Since starting there this year, they are enthusiastic about going to school each day. My sons are so stimulated by all the activities provided each day, including STEAM education in the innovation lab, Spanish, multiple phys ed classes each week, piano instruction, chess club, music class, and art class. My kindergartner loves to bring home his clay creations from the kiln, and my two-year-old especially loves the new Music Together program that is integrated into the nursery and PreK program. The Montessori methods used in the early childhood program have allowed both boys to achieve so much at their own pace. The teachers celebrate their individual achievements, and the children learn to be proud of their classmates and themselves. I couldn't feel better about sending them to school. Holy Child is a place where each child is loved and is encouraged to grow in love for others.

We are so lucky to have found HCA! Lucas is in the Nursery 2 class currently. He has always been an extremely curious and active child. HCA has given him the opportunity to flourish and grow so much in such a short amount of time. His language skills have improved immensely, and he is learning so much from his ABC's to manners and numbers. Not only is he getting an amazing education, but he is forming lasting friendships. Lucas is so excited to go to school every day to see his teachers and friends. HCA truly offers a family feel. Everyone already knows Lucas. When we attend events, even the older kids say hi to him and address him by name. We have such peace of mind knowing that Lucas will learn and grow at HCA through the 8th grade. We couldn't ask for a better partner in raising our child.

As a parent, I can't encourage other parents enough to come and visit HCA. We've have had (and continue to have) an incredibly positive experience there. Watching our child thrive academically in a welcoming, loving, and caring environment is priceless. We love our school and the wonderful community that comes with it!

Holy Child Academy is a wonderful school. After researching and visiting a number of private schools in our area, we chose HCA. The challenging curriculum, small class size, and amazing faculty and staff have confirmed that Holy Child Academy was the right choice for our son. He is extremely happy and has grown both socially and academically.
