Connelly School of the Holy Child
s a Catholic, independent, college
preparatory middle and upper

6 through 12, in Potomac, Maryland.
Founded in 1961 by the Society of
the Holy Child Jesus, the school is a
member of the Holy Child network
of schools in the United States and a
part of the larger community of Holy
Child schools that includes Europe
and Africa. Our foundation is the
educational philosophy of Cornelia
Connelly (1809-1879), whose
ideas even today are advanced
in personalized, compassionate
education. Holy Child provides
Advanced Placement and honors
courses on site. Additional specialized course offerings are available through our membership in the
Online School for Girls, as well as through other online educational institutions. Campus ministry,
robust community service programs, international travel, newly renovated fine arts and athletics
center, artificial turf field, publications, newly revised STEAM (STEM, plus Arts) offerings, as well as a
Spanish heritage program for native Spanish speakers, enrich the curriculum. With an active, engaged
alumnae network, comprised of successful professionals in many fields, a young woman joining the
Holy Child community begins a life-long journey of joyous and enriched experiences.
