Holy Child Catholic School Capital Campaign

Holy Child Catholic School in Tijeras was facing just the kind of problem that a school wants- where to put a growing population of eager young students.  The pre-k through 8th grade school, which celebrated its ten year anniversary this year, has seen increasing enrollment as more families have begun to seek it out for its unique Classical curriculum, which inculcates the student in the riches of Western Civilization.  By immersing students in the great intellectual and spiritual patrimony of Greece and Rome, they begin to find their own place in the story of salvation history.  Holy Child is singularly focused on raising saints and scholars, children who love their Catholic faith and love to learn.  The curriculum includes Latin, poetry, great literature, science, and a rigorous math program, all of which are in service of the greater goal of exposing the children to the Good, the True, and the Beautiful.  Responding to the increasing momentum and excitement of the growth of classical schools across the country meant that the school had outgrown its current facilities.  

At the end of August the school, in conjunction with Holy Child Parish, began a capital campaign to purchase a modular building to house its growing population.  The initial goal was to raise $450,000 by November 1st- an ambitious goal for such a short period of time!  That would cover half of the $900,000 that is needed to purchase and outfit the building.

The parish and school community responded with astounding generosity, already raising over $500,000.  This will allow the school to secure a loan from the Archdiocese for the balance of the $900,000 needed to cover the entire cost of the modular building.  This means that Holy Child still stands in need of $400,000 to achieve our objective of creating a beautiful, functional space in which our students can flourish.  If you are interested in supporting our mission of raising saints and forming scholars, please call us at 281-3077 or visit our website,  holychildcatholicschool.org.
