Holy Cross Academy

"Holy Cross provides a wonderful learning environment which benefits the child as a whole. HCA is a faith based school, with respect for God, yourself and others being a core teaching. Their principal is fantastic and devotes much of his time to the school. I would highly recommend taking a tour. After our tour, our children wanted to start immediately. It is a great, safe place for children!"

"As an Alumni of Holy Cross Academy (Class of 2007), I had the honor of being a substitute teacher at the school in 2022. The curriculum succeeds beyond its mission for teachers to provide,"...individualized instruction for every student." I state this because the class structure enables teachers to interact with the students more as mentors. Teachers spend more time with each individual; no child is just another student in this regard. In the post-COVID Era world, parents will readily see the benefit of personal instruction students receive from Holy Cross Academy, as this type of teaching can accommodate each student's intellectual strengths. The school's vision is about fostering the utmost intellectual quality in each child. HCA has several veteran teachers that understand HCA's school environment, and they know the nuances of being a student there. I was taught by several of the teachers that still work there now. They have all impacted my intellectual life in the most positive ways. They are always updating their knowledge about what each generation needs to succeed. Of course, the newer teachers are doing a terrific job adding to HCA's relevance in Music, Athletics, Mathematics, World Languages, etc. The HCA Preschool will provide your child with the utmost love and care needed at their age. Many activities revolve around crafts and field trips for the children to experience the world. From Kindergarten to 8th Grade, your child will recieve well-beyond what the average elementary education offers. HCA’s teachers will progressively prepare each student for High School-level academics. Not only this, but the teachers will help prepare them for top-tier High Schools in Monmouth County. Many alumni of Holy Cross Academy go on to attend schools such as High Technology High School, Biotechnology High School, Marine Academy of Science and Technology, Christian Brothers Academy, Trinity Hall, Red Bank Catholic High School, etc. Overall, I highly recommend this school to parents looking for the best educational experience for their children."

"I can't say enough about Holy Cross. Our daughter was fully prepared for the rigors of the competitive high school she attended. Our son is in 8th grade and doing so well; academically, socially and emotionally. The foundation that HCA gives children - that living the virtues and the values of their Catholic faith is what they need to make good decisions in life, is second to none."

"From Kindergarten through 8th Grade, our son was challenged and motivated by dedicated teachers. Holy Cross helped us raise him into a conscientious and spiritual young man. The students graduating from Holy Cross are extremely well prepared for the academically competitive high schools in the area. As a family, we loved the Holy Cross experience!"

"My son transferred to Holy Cross Academy when his previous school closed 5 years ago and he loves it there. He was welcomed and included immediately. The teachers are wonderful and genuinely care about their students. He is receiving an excellent education. He seems challenged and prepared for high school."
