Why Holy Cross

An education at Holy Cross Regional Catholic School is money wisely spent, because your child’s tuition is an investment that will pay a lifelong dividend. We represent affordable excellence; there is an emphasis on efficiency and accountability.

In keeping with our Catholic faith, we also emphasize a mutual respect among students, faculty, and administrators, which generates an atmosphere of care and concern.

Strong academic achievement

We were officially recognized by the Archdiocese of Philadelphia for “Exceeding Academic Potential”with our 2019 standardized Terra Nova achievement test scores. Based on 2021 Terra Nova results:

• 96% of our students scored at or above the national average in Reading.
• 95% of our students scored at or above the national average in Language. 
• 93% of our students scored at or above the national average in Mathematics.

Potential financial aid for high school

Holy Cross eighth-graders traditionally receive more than $200,000 annually in academic scholarships towards their high school tuition.

In 2019-2020, three Holy Cross 8th-grade students received the prestigious Neumann Scholarship -- a full, four-year scholarship to any one of the 17 Archdiocesan high schools. Each year, the Connelly Foundation awards this scholarship to only 34 eighth-grade students across the entire Archdiocese of Philadelphia.

Nine of our students have won the scholarship in the past nine years. One of our students had the highest score of all qualified students who sat for the test.
