Holy Cross emphasizes the importance of a child developing an identity that he or she is loved and accepted as a unique individual.
Our staff and students represent a diversity of faiths and are respected for their religious origin.
A Christian perspective is taught on the universal principles of the importance of having an active prayer life, a loving home and family and healthy relationships with each other.
Preparation for class work in elementary school and the development of physical skills are part of a well planned curriculum centered on the ideas and ideals of Christianity, rather than dogma.
Each child's needs will be assessed and treated in accordance with growth and development patterns.
