Elementary Education

Our mission is to serve parents and their children by providing a high quality, biblically based, instructional program, marked by spiritual focus, academic excellence, and respect for the individual and personal service to others.

 

 

 

The Holy Cross Academy provides:

† Dedicated Christian teachers who serve as daily role models
† Daily religious instruction and opportunities for worship
† Integration of the Christian faith into all subjects throughout each day
† Opportunities for Christian service
† Close contact with home


 

Our campus is set on a beautiful 5-acre wooded lot located one mile west of I-4 and the Seminole Towne Center Mall, off Hwy 46 on Henderson Lane. Here the children enjoy the benefits of a safe and modern facility while earning a quality elementary education in a christian environment.

Because the student teacher ratio is important at HCLA, class size is limited. For this reason the following registration priorities have been established:

  • Child has a sibling currently enrolled in Holy Cross Academy or Preschool

Enrollment Age

HCLA has taken great care in developing the scope of the curriculum to provide age appropriate progression for each child. Class enrollment follows the following guidelines:

Infants – may start once they are 6 weeks old

1yr. olds – children must be able to walk with steady confidence and be drinking from a sippy-cup
