Who We Are

Schools of the Holy Child Jesus share in the mission of the Society of the Holy Child Jesus:

“To help others believe that God lives and acts in them and in our world, and to rejoice in the Divine Presence.”

The schools, committed by heritage to the educational mission of the Catholic Church through the philosophy and spirituality of Cornelia Connelly, are grounded in trust and reverence for the dignity of every person.

We are committed to the holistic development of each child and to maintaining a high sense of religious and academic excellence, community, and family spirit which is prevalent in all our schools.

Our philosophy of education challenges each child to reach his or her full potential. We encourage our students to respond to the “wants of the age” with compassion, integrity, and confidence in God and in their God-given gifts and talents.
