Academy of the Holy Cross

Holy Cross has been educating “women of courage, compassion and scholarship” for over 150 years. As the current global health crisis has challenged schools to develop innovative and engaging methods of instruction, Holy Cross is at the forefront of providing a robust educational and student life experience. Whether on campus or at a distance, we prepare girls to feel confident taking academic risks, leading their peers, and standing up for their beliefs. We are guided by our Catholic faith and the mission of the Sisters of the Holy Cross. Our graduates are exceptionally well prepared for college and beyond. As education today is globally focused, we offer a rigorous curriculum including Honors courses, Project Lead the Way Engineering program, Advanced Placement courses, an extensive online course selection, and a Dual-Enrollment/Dual-Credit program with Marymount University. In our championship athletics, our extensive performing arts, or by providing 11,000 hours of service annually, our girls do not wait for opportunity, they create it. Additionally, seniors complete a 60-hour internship in a career setting that interests them. The Class of 2020 received over $22,000,000+ in college scholarships. Our girls believe they can do anything, because they see girls do everything.
