Academics at Holy Name of Jesus School

An education at Holy Name of Jesus School is rooted in tradition, creativity, discovery, and collaboration. At HNJ, we educate the whole child, using instruction enhanced by state-of-the-art technology to nurture each student’s unique talents and interests.

Our students are excelling academically. They are scoring in the top quadrant nationally on benchmark assessments and rank among the top five schools in the Archdiocese in both reading and math.

This success is the result of a community-wide commitment to growth:

• Administration uses data to make thoughtful curricular and pedagogical decisions.

• Teachers leverage data to shape instruction, target supports, and maximize student learning.

• Students actively engage with their own data to set meaningful goals and strive for personal excellence.

Teachers also work closely with families to understand and guide students’ intellectual, social, and spiritual growth. By celebrating strengths and addressing areas for development, parents and educators partner to support every child’s journey.

Students build a strong foundation in reading, writing, and mathematics while exploring the world around them. They learn to think critically, solve problems creatively, and collaborate effectively with peers. HNJ’s research-based strategies and pedagogy ensure that instruction meets the needs of diverse learners while striving for academic excellence.

Our robust enrichment and elective classes foster the spiritual, emotional, social, and physical development of every student. Additionally, “The Nest,” a state-of-the-art student support program staffed by skilled educators, provides personalized support in reading and math. Learning specialists collaborate closely with classroom teachers and families, using student data to create individualized learning plans that meet each child’s individual needs.
