Holy Cross prepares students for college placement and a successful professional life while stimulating intellectual growth. The Director of Studies, in conjunction with the Guidance Department, takes an active role in recommending courses for students based on their educational background, ability, needs and maturity. The curriculum is structured so that the interests and abilities of the students are fully recognized.

Upon graduation, over ninety-nine percent of Holy Cross students enroll in a college or university to further their education. Recent graduates have been accepted by some of the country's leading institutions such as Boston College, Cornell University, Duke University, Georgetown University, Fairfield University, Fordham University, Marist College, Quinnipiac University, Salve Regina University, Wesleyan University and Yale University.
