My daughter loves Holy Child - the school has become her second home. The faculty and staff are kind, caring and supportive. She is thriving in her academics, athletics and extracurriculars. The school is smaller than other comparable schools but that's the secret to its success - its smaller size allows for a feeling of belonging and family. My daughter is not just a name on a class roster - her teachers know her and nurture her to be her best possible self.

SHC is a very special school and educates girls to become the very best they can be. This is achieved through a balance of not only rigorous education but a kind, nurturing environment and most important, teaching empathy, Empathy has sadly been overlooked in the educational system, especially in th...
