Holy Child has far better college matriculation than AHC.

Holy Child has expertise in dealing with learning differences. It's smaller too, so that is something to keep in mind.


This is good to know. Is there also an opportunity for others who would qualify for honors or AP classes?


Yes, lots of girls take honors and AP classes.

Meant to say - They each made wonderful friends with whom they are still in touch with after graduation.

I think any of the private schools in the area are good schools. A lot has to do with own your child's abilities and determination. I had two daughters attend Academy of the Holy Cross. One was a gifted learner and graduated from an Ivy League school. The other daughter had ADHD and the resource department and counseling department were great in helping her find a good fit for a state school. She was also not as mature as her older sister and closer to home worked better for her. They each made wonderful friends with whom they are still touch after graduation.

Clearly looks like Holy Child pulls from a wealthier crowd. Also the kind of crowd that probably will be fine regardless of where they go to college because they have connections. That said looking at their college placements, they have still done well.

Is there a brother school for Holy Child? Do they interact with boys much?
