My overall experience with the Academy of Holy Cross has been more than incredible. The teachers and staff are amazing and very supportive, communication is a plus and the level of education and expertise had play an amazing role in my daughter education.

It's an incredible school and I truly cannot see myself being a student elsewhere. everyone from the staff and faculty to the students are great people that truly form the school environment and make it into a great place where people truly want to be. becoming a student at the Academy of the holy Cross in Kensington has allowed me to see a different perspective and have a different take on school and what it's all about. I applied to Holy Cross having high expectations about what the quality of the education and of the lifestyle would be like but in the past couple months, holy cross has exceeded those expectations, and I firmly believe that coming to the Academy of the Holy Cross was the best possible decision I could have made. I wish more people knew about this incredible school because it is definitely worth it and it is a place that I never want to leave. Holy Cross is not just about academics. Holy Cross is my second home, and I am forever grateful.

AHC provides a safe and comfortable environment in an all-girls setting that fosters leadership and independence of the students. The administration listens and makes changes based on feedback and suggestions and it has been an overall very positive experience for my junior daughter.

The Academy of the Holy Cross experience for my family has been excellent. My girls were able to study and learn at their own pace, and gained a confidence in themselves that may sometimes be inhibited in coed academic atmospheres.

I would rate my experience at the school as being a comprehensive experience. Not only are these girls getting a great education and learning to be independent thinkers but they are taking responsibility for their education. They are developing not only the mind but the total person.

I've had a wonderful experience at Holy Cross and I highly recommend it.
