School History
Holy Child Catholic School is nestled in the beautiful Sandia Mountains. It is situated minutes outside of New Mexico’s largest city, Albuquerque, but its location is much more rural than urban. Located in the Village of Tijeras, it is part of what is generally referred to as the East Mountains and while it does have students and staff from Albuquerque and Rio Rancho, the majority of the students come from the small communities of Tijeras, Cedar Crest, Sandia Park, Edgewood, Moriarty, and Estancia.
Holy Child Catholic School is part of the Archdiocese of Santa Fe, but its curriculum comes from St. Jerome Academy in Hyattsville, Maryland, which was the first diocesan school to become classical in our generation. The school community is excited to be part of the flourishing Catholic, classical school movement sweeping the country.
For families seeking a structured, classical Catholic education for their children, Holy Child Catholic School’s opening in 2008 presented a much needed option. Today the school is growing steadily. While classes are kept intentionally small, the school has the joyful problem of gradually outgrowing its current facilities. Exciting times lie ahead as the school continues to grow and develop while fulfilling its Christ-centered educational mission to raise saints and form scholars!
