Holy Cross prepares students for college placement and a
successful professional life while stimulating intellectual
growth. The Principal, 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.
Holy Cross believes in creating an environment that is
most conducive to learning. Consequently, Block Scheduling
was implemented in 1997, and quickly became popular among
the students and faculty.
The instructional model of Block Scheduling calls for the
extension of classroom periods to 80 minutes. An increased
time period allows teachers and students to delve more
deeply into subject matter and increase activity-based
learning and group-oriented learning strategies.
Upon graduation, over ninety-seven 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,
Fairfield University, Fordham University, Georgetown University, Harvard University, Johns Hopkins University, Marist College,
Quinnipiac University, Salve Regina University, Wesleyan
University, West Point and Yale University. |
