CONNELLY SCHOOL OF THE
HOLY CHILD
Middle School is a formative time where you gain confidence about yourself – as a student, friend, citizen and daughter. At Holy Child, we realize the importance of academics in relation to the more complete picture of who you are as a young woman. We provide a place of responsibility and trust, rigor and joy, support and sisterhood.
Starting in sixth grade, each student has her own Surface. That means you will stay even better organized, submit assignments online, and ask your teachers questions anytime. You’ll also learn how to do the best research, which means you’re gaining skills for today that will also help in high school and college.
Our program combines science, technology, engineering, arts and math. It’s called STEAM. You’ll build robots and connect the dots between subjects that you might think are separate from one another. That integration means you learn the material and gain skills at the same time.

“I made great friends in Middle School at Holy Child and I was challenged academically. In 8th grade, I was able to take some courses in the Upper School. I felt prepared for high school and I love all the AP and elective courses I get to take now.” Isabelle ‘16
