School Spotlight: Holy Family Catholic School

Holy Family Catholic School in the Diocese of Orlando was established 20 years ago to bring the Gospel message of Jesus Christ to children from three years old through eighth grade. Students participate in academic, spiritual, and extracurricular activities to bring students together as a family and to reach out to their church as well as their community. Recently given the honor of being voted the Best Private Catholic School in the area by various local publications not once, but a few years running, Holy Family Catholic School proves it truly is one of the best private schools in Orlando.Spiritual GrowthStudents participate in daily prayer, weekly liturgies with the church community, and seasonal prayer service. Lessons are given within a spiritual environment and teachers and administrators all reflect God’s love and commitment to “teach all the nations.”Academic GrowthWith a strong curriculum including language arts, mathematics, social studies, science, and reading, students are able to enhance their education in a caring environment with a highly trained, compassionate teacher. Especially in our younger grades, smaller class sizes mean lessons can be more individualized to allow better understanding for all students. With a state-of-the-art STEM science lab on the premises as well as wireless Internet access across campus, and smart boards, students are able to engage in lessons in a non-traditional format.Extracurricular ActivitiesStudies have proven the importance of learning outside the classroom. Holy Family Catholic School students participate in fine arts, physical education, drama, and organized sports teams through the Catholic Middle School Athletic Organization including soccer, track, volleyball, and basketball. The HFCS Lions have received a record number of championships in all these sports!Community OutreachOne of the cornerstones of a Catholic education is community outreach and Holy Family Catholic School logs thousands of hours in giving back to their community. Individual students, classes, and grades assist their community who are less fortunate; as is their mission. Holy Family students perform more than 5,000 hours a year of community service in programs that benefit the community, as well as the student body.Global CommunityStudents are taught Spanish every year with more formal lessons occurring in grades four through eight for more fluent students. When children grow up learning a second language, they are more likely to travel abroad to work or study. The outreach within the local community and the varied backgrounds of the students within the school will prepare students for the global marketplace where they will surely find different ethnicities, races, and languages.Holy Family Catholic School offers a strong faith-based academic curriculum taught by caring professionals. Your child will thrive educationally and socially with an abundance of activities to stimulate the mind, body, and spirit.
