Best-community, goal oriented, God focused, drive girls to lead, explore and be themselves. Improve - lacks diversity

I like how the community was small but felt big because of how many people from outside interacted with us. Especially alumni. One thing I would like to change about the holy child would be their diversity and the way they handle situations dealing with racism and discrimination. I feel like they do a good job listing your problems but they don't do a good enough job of making sure that problem is fixed.

My daughter went to Holy Child. I would think twice about sending your daughter there. Overall, from the outside, everything looks great, but in reality it is one large clique of girls who in my daughter's experience were from accepting or supportive. It is very hierarchical. My daughter was bullied by one girl in particular, but, since she was not from Potomac, Chevy Chase, or Bethesda, really never felt accepted or fit in.

This is a very non-inclusive school full of entitled students or those aspiring to their circles. There is a group of popular girls practicing exclusion and covert/overt bullying. If you are different in any way, artistic, quirky, independent, you will be ostracized or near ostracized. The parents a...

I have 2 daughters at Holy Child. They have different personalities, academic strengths and interests. Holy Child has served the needs and interests of both my daughters because underlying the academics is a focus on character and service. Each girl is empowered as an individual rather than having t...
