Academy of the Holy Cross

As an alumna of the Academy of the Holy Cross (AHC), I am pleased with my education. The curriculum and social activities were ideal for me and seemed to be ideal for my classmates as well. AHC is a single-​gender high school (grades 9, 10, 11, and 12) educating young women of courage, compassion, and scholarship. It is a private school in Kensington, MD, a suburb of Washington, D.C. The school is located within walking distance of the Grosvenor Metro Station and Georgetown Prep. Though the school is Roman Catholic with active faculty and staff from the order of the Holy Cross, it is a suitable education for young women of various religious faiths and backgrounds. AHC has its own library and small chapel in addition to other facilities.
The alumnae groups are strong and friendships made during the high school years at AHC are dear lifelong friends.
