What does the Church teach about the role of love between teacher and student in the classroom?
Saint Augustine said that there is a mutual indwelling of teacher and student such that the teacher begins to live in the student, and the student begins to live in the teacher, creating a virtuous circle in which truth travels round and round from soul to soul, almost erasing the lines between teacher and student.

Suzuki Group Instructor
Dr. Shinichi Suzuki based his educational method upon the idea that every child can learn to play an instrument when immersed in an environment which includes:
• early exposure to quality music
• enthusiastic support from the parent
• daily focused practice and listening
• constant review of skills learned
• private lessons with parent, teacher, and student
• group lessons with peers
• positive performance opportunities
The Suzuki Program at HCCS strives to provide on campus the environmental elements prescribed by Dr. Suzuki and to support parents in extending this environment to the home. Private lessons are offered after school hours, both on and off the HCCS campus. Group lessons are on campus during school hours.
For additional information on the Suzuki method, please see the Suzuki Association of the Americas

Mrs. Garrity
I love the classically inspired curriculum because it nurtures the whole child, mind body and soul. Prior to this I used to homeschool my kids, and it's a method I used in my own home with my children. It's nice coming into this place that values the same things that I do and that we did at home.
Mrs. Sanchez, Upper School Science & Mathematcis
Wonder: A feeling of surprise mingled with admiration caused by something beautiful, unexpected, unfamiliar, or inexplicable .
At Holy Child, Mrs. Sanchez approaches Science with wonder. She often reminds us that she teaches Mathematics not just because it's useful, but because it is beautiful.
Ms. Stuchly, Upper School History and Poetry
Holy Child is the perfect place for the teacher to flourish alongside the students because of the truth we are discovering together.
