Advantages of Attending

Holy Cross School

Holy Cross offers a welcoming and loving faith based environment where students begin their day in the Chapel with songs, prayers and Bible stories. Academic strength and spiritual well-being are the basis of a Holy Cross education. Diversity of students in all areas is welcomed and encouraged.

Rigorous Academics

Holy Cross teachers and staff work together to set a high mark for students to attain. It is our belief that providing students the skills needed at every grade level to meet and exceed the high academic standards set for them is of the utmost importance. By the time they reach graduation, most students are working above grade level in many areas which provides a smoother transition into 7th grade.

Enrichments

In addition to a strong academic program, students receive exceptional instruction in a variety of subjects aimed at identifying and developing natural talent. Enrichment curriculum is for all students, including Pre-K and Kindergartners. Students attend essential enrichment classes weekly.

Spanish – Students learn language conversation and fluid writing through hands-on participation three to four days per week.
Fine Art – In art, all students engage in activities ranging from crayon and watercolor self-portraits to copper repoussé and polymer clay sculptures.
Music – A lively music program engages students’ natural learning ability through performances, games, dance and unusual instruments such as resonator bells and the washboard.
