Inspired girls need an inspiring school.  

At Holy Child, each girl’s academic strength grows through an intellectually challenging and dynamic program of study.  Because evidence shows girls thrive on connection and context, we design collaborative, active, inquiry-based approaches for every class, from science and math to literature and history. We create space and time for faculty to mentor, advise, coach and connect with each student as an individual.Our highly personal college preparatory curriculum is based in a Catholic educational tradition that joins faith and intellect. Our innovative teachers take it ever forward to create the best learning environment for girls.Every day, with passion, conviction and grit, we build deep, energizing joy in learning. The college and career accomplishments of our alumnae prove the success of our approach.

  

 

Around the Harkness table, girls take the lead. 

 Harkness discussions allow you to construct meaning as you delve into complex themes in everything from ethics to economics. Through the research-based approach of Visible Thinking, you’ll also develop strategies that encourage active processing of content in every subject. You will gain deeper understanding as you intentionally examine and share concepts and ideas together.  

  

Girls work together to develop solutions to real problems. 

From disaster mitigation to engineering challenges, project-based learning will inspire you to actively explore and choose real issues to solve. As you connect with people and ideas, you’ll build critical-thinking, communication and life skills as well as greater knowledge. 

 

We are women of action long before we graduate.   

Entrepreneurship, conferences, exchange programs—the experience you gain outside the classroom will build you as a leader, an innovator and a globally minded woman of conscience and action. It’s not an extra. It’s essential.
