The Network

The Holy Child Network of Schools is an association of independent Catholic schools sponsored by the American Province of the Society of the Holy Child Jesus, an international community of women dedicated to serving humanity primarily through the ministry of education. Inspired by the philosophy and spirituality of the congregation’s founder and educational pioneer, Cornelia Connelly, Holy Child educators have promoted academic excellence, spiritual growth, and a sense of social responsibility in their students since 1848.

The Holy Child Network connects nine elementary, middle, and secondary schools across the United States that share a distinctive spirit and tradition, uniquely tailored to each school’s particular community. In keeping with Cornelia’s lead and what we know about how children learn, our lower schools are coeducational and our upper schools are all girls. Collectively, our schools encompass 2,800+ students and their families as well as 660+ extraordinary faculty, staff, and administrators.
