God
Holy Child Schools foster a faith commitment that leads to a joyous personal relationship with
in addressing the realities of the world.
Rooted in our Catholic values, Holy Child Academy offers a nurturing environment where students of all faiths are invited to grow spiritually, act with kindness, and discover a deeper sense of purpose. Inspired by the teachings of Cornelia Connelly, founder of the Society of the Holy Child Jesus, we foster a community where inclusivity and faith go hand in hand, shaping compassionate, thoughtful leaders ready to make a difference in a diverse world.
Our Faith
in Practice
At Holy Child Academy, faith isn't just taught, it's lived, shared and celebrated every day.
From the first days in our Toddler classrooms through 8th grade, children are gently introduced to God’s love and taught that every person is unique and cherished in God’s image.
In 2nd grade, students prepare for and receive First Reconciliation and First Communion right on campus. These treasured sacraments are celebrated as part of our Holy Child tradition, with families, teachers, and classmates coming together in joyful community.
Each school day begins with classroom prayer, and students participate in school-wide liturgies and monthly Masses that bring our community together in worship and reflection.
Our religion curriculum goes beyond doctrine to instill values like empathy, integrity, and responsibility. Students gain a strong moral foundation and a faith-filled worldview that encourages them to live with purpose.
Through Campus Ministry and age-appropriate outreach projects, students put their faith into practice. Whether collecting goods for families in need or participating in service-learning experiences, children learn the value of compassion, generosity, and making a meaningful impact in the world.
