My Holy Child experience has been very good. The food is great, and so are the teachers. Of course, as you go through life some teachers you will not like and the same goes for classmates. It is just a simple matter of life. You like some and you don't like others. I have met some of my friends that I will cherish forever. The teachers have made a great impact on my life. You cannot guarantee anything but what you can is that as soon as you walk through those doors, you will be a gryphon and once a gryphon always a gryphon.

Holy Child does an exceptional job preparing students for the real world, post-graduation and preparing students to continue into college and enter into the workforce. However, Holy Child can improve on diversity initiatives on campus and in the faculty. As an alum myself, and a person of color, I saw that it was imperative that the administration and teachers expand to have a diversified roster.

My daughter has spend 7 years at SHC. Have not a single complaint. Your child will be supported and ready for any college and any life plan. If any issue arises, very easy to speak with folks at the school -- zero "stiff arming", zero pressure to give money -- all handled with grace. Love the school so much more than thought possible.

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...

My days as a Holy Child student were fundamental in the most positive way into making me who I am. My love for science started and grew because of my rigorous yet balanced Holy Child education by teachers who really cared. Plus, I cherish my lifetime of many close friendships nurtured during my year...
