HOLY CHILD SCHOOL AT ROSEMONT

What HOLY CHILD SCHOOL AT ROSEMONT does

Holy Child School at Rosemont is an independent, co-educational Catholic school serving over 350 students from preschool (age 2.7 years) through Grade 8 on a single campus in Rosemont, Pennsylvania, on Philadelphia's Main Line. Founded in 1949 in a Horace Trumbauer-designed Tudor mansion by the Sisters of the Holy Child Jesus, the school operates three academic divisions (Early Childhood, Lower School, Middle School) with a 7:1 student-to-faculty ratio and approximately 50 faculty members. The educational model is grounded in Foundress Cornelia Connelly's philosophy of educating the whole child across intellectual, spiritual, physical, and emotional dimensions, supported by a no-cut athletics program (43 championships over 15 years), comprehensive arts curriculum, service-learning program, and the HEARTS2 wellness framework.

Revenue is generated primarily through tiered tuition ($15,845 to $31,275 per year for 2026-2027 depending on grade level), supplemented by an Extended Day after-school care program ($3,500-$5,500/year), the Falcon Hill Summer Camps series ($275-$500 per week across nine camp types), facility rentals of campus athletic and performing arts assets, and annual giving through the Holy Child Fund with nearly 500 donors contributing across giving circles from $100 to $50,000+. The school commits nearly $1 million annually in need-based tuition assistance, with 32% of families receiving aid, and supplements revenue through EITC/OSTC programs and corporate foundation support.

The institution completed a major 2021 campus expansion adding the Fitzgerald Performing Arts and Athletic Center, Gaffney Family Field, prayer grotto, and the NEST outdoor learning facility, and in May 2024 launched a community-wide strategic visioning process with consultant Concentrics that produced four strategic pillars: Living and Celebrating Holy Child Mission, Transforming Student Experience, Cultivating Community Culture, and Fortifying Financial Vitality. Governance is provided by a Board of Trustees under Chair Stephen Schreder, with Brian McBride serving as Head of School.
