Congratulations to Mrs. Kane - The Archdiocese of Washington Principal of the Year!

Welcome!

Holy Cross is a coeducational Catholic school serving children in Pre-Kindergarten for 3 year olds through Eighth Grade.

Our school is a diverse, faith-centered community that was recognized in 2013 as a National Blue Ribbon School of Excellence. We are an inclusive learning community that strives to achieve each student’s full potential and develop a positive attitude toward learning.

In 2013 the U.S. Department of Education named Holy Cross a National Blue Ribbon School. Holy Cross was one of just fifty private schools to win the award, in recognition of our exemplary high performance. We will be eligible to reapply for the spec…

Holy Cross students receive personal attention in a warm, caring, and safe environment. Our students learn to contribute to one another, to their families and to the global community.

Faith, Scholarship, and Service are our guiding principles. These values guide our students, faculty and parent community in all we do. We welcome you to explore our website and encourage you to attend one of our open house events, schedule a private tour or arrange a shadow day for your child.

Parent Comments

“Students at Holy Cross School are academically challenged and nurtured in a disciplined, kind and loving environment.”

"Teachers tailor their instruction to the individual needs of students and can easily enrich the already advanced curriculum to challenge students."

"The entire curriculum is not only intellectually-rigorous; it is rooted in Christian values of respect for and service to others."

"Holy Cross is a family. It reminds me of the small, rural school that I grew up attending. The education my children receive is second to none and I love the values and Christian ideals incorporated into everyday student life."

"We love that the student body at Holy Cross is a perfect amalgamation of the world, while at the same time delivering a blue ribbon quality education and imparting Christian principles to our son."

"The sense of community extends to the students too, where the older students look out for and mentor the younger ones."

"The students’ moral formation is guided through teaching, example, attendance at Mass, and opportunities for service."

"The teachers care more than at any school I've been involved with, and I find them to be ultra-competent."

"As parents we love the strong sense of community; the class is small enough that we really get to know the other parents and kids at birthday parties, field trips, and school events."

"The nurturing staff and smaller class size has benefitted my children's relationships with peers and educators. The respect and faith taught in the classroom has carried over into home and sports life - it's great to see."

Tuesday's Lenten Luminary Walk was a beautiful way for our community to prepare for the season of Lent. Each luminary bag, decorated by students with artwork or prayers that reflected Lenten sacrifices and acts of devotion, illuminated the path around the Mary Garden—symbolizing our journey of faith, prayer, and renewal. #ADWcommUNITY #ILoveHolyCross #LentenJourney #FaithInAction #LentenLuminaryWalk
