Holy Cross Academy Reviews
Rating 4.88 out of 5 8 reviews
It was a very engaging environment. The teachers care deeply about the student's upbringing and intellectual development.
My sons and I LOVE this school! Easily one of the best decisions I have made as a parent.
The school offers an extensive amount of extra curricular activities (identical to public schools). The teachers/administrators make themselves available to students and families who have questions/concerns. Class sizes provide the opportunity for more focused instruction.
The discipline and structure that my sons require has given them the opportunity to focus and strive academically.
The school just feels like family to us!

Caring and involved teachers, great principal. More communication is needed between teachers of students moving from one grade to the next to make the curriculum flow better.
We love that our children are learning with a smaller class size than most public schools. The teachers have been able to administer different spelling tests or assign different homework and even work in small groups at different academic levels because the class sizes are smaller. This means that our children are being challenged or given extra support based on their individual abilities. We've been blessed to have such caring and dedicated teachers in our lives that truly care about the children in their class and their success in life.
It is also very important to us that our children learn to be good stewards of the earth and to live a life that Jesus would be proud of. The teachers and staff at Holy Cross Academy do a wonderful job at helping the leaders of the future think not just about themselves but how everything they do affects and impacts others.

Holy Cross Academy has been great for my son. I especially like that the class sizes are small. It allows for specialized instruction that I know he wouldn't get in a public school setting. The cafeteria has various food options on the menu and is reasonably priced. He loves going to school every day! He has an amazing teacher and the entire staff knows him by name. Holy Cross Academy is like a family and we are proud to be a part of it.
We love Holy Cross Academy! Our 3 daughters (4th, 2nd and 1st grade) get off the bus smiling every day and to us as parents, that’s an amazing way to greet your children at the door. Class sizes are small, families are extremely vested in their children’s success and the environment allows our children to focus academically with minimal distractions. We live in a fantastic public school district but still decide to pay the additional tuition (which is not that bad) because of the family like atmosphere. Well worth the sacrifice!
Currently have 4 children attending HCA and 2 graduates, both of whom are honor students in high school. Teachers are incredible and dedicated to teaching academics well but also teaching the students the lessons of life and most importantly, faith. Highly involved families with dedication to the school and creating a kind, generous environment.
