About Holy Cross School

A Family of Learning

The Gold Medal Winner of the “Best of the 207 Awards” in the Private Schools Category, Holy Cross School, located in South Portland, has welcomed families for more than 85 years to an energized environment based on community, academic excellence, and grounded in the Catholic faith. Accredited by NEASC, Holy Cross is a Pre-Kindergarten to 8th-grade school that excels in preparing its students for future success and citizenship.

Drawing students from communities around Greater Portland, Holy Cross welcomes families into a collaborative, cooperative educational setting with teachers and students.  Small classroom size allows teachers to connect directly with each student and tailor learning to the strengths and needs of the student.

A sense of belonging reaches every student, every teacher, and all our families.  Holy Cross stands ready to prepare young people for the challenges of high school and beyond by providing a toolbox of moral and educational values to tap into when faced with the difficult decisions they will face throughout life with the belief of being of service to others.
