The Face of Independent School Education: Holy Child School at Rosemont

Holy Child is a co-educational, independent, Catholic school that welcomes children of every faith, from early childhood through eighth grade. Based on the progressive educational model of Cornelia Connelly, Foundress of the Holy Child Schools, the school provides a dynamic 21st-century curriculum for the whole child. They offer a challenging and creative program of study in a supportive environment so that children experience the “joy of achievement.” At Holy Child, middle school is their upper school, offering not only outstanding academic opportunities, but also leadership experiences that are not always available in a kindergarten-through-grade-12 school.
