We are in our 9th year at Holy Spirit and love it. We have 4 kids spanning 8th grade to pre-K. The school is authentically Catholic while not being stuffy. It is a joyful environment. The education and is serious with a professional Administration. The Pastor and priests are involved in the school, and there is an active PTO that provides support and fun social functions for the kids & families. The school and parish have a great sports program that competes in CYO. The school is welcoming of children with special needs. The location is great -- right off of Braddock Road and accessible to the Beltway. We highly recommend!
