Middle school aged children are unique in their academic, social, physical and emotional needs. Our program addresses each of these areas with sensitivity as we prepare our students for their high school experience and beyond. Teachers guide the students to become independent, secure young adults capable of making good decisions. Students are introduced to the basics of Algebra, Chemistry, Biology and Physical Science, to World Cultures and World Geography and U.S. History, and Spanish. Students in Eighth grade prepare for and will receive the sacrament of Confirmation. Holy Cross Academy graduates are well prepared and highly successful whether attending public or Catholic high school.
