Why HRS?

"As a parent, finding a school that truly meets both the academic and personal needs of your child can feel like a daunting task. But from the moment we walked into Holy Redeemer School of College Park, we knew we'd found something special. This small, diverse, Catholic school has been an incredible blessing to our family, providing not only a great education but a supportive, nurturing environment where our children are encouraged to grow in every aspect of their lives. One of the first things that stood out to us about the school is its commitment to academic excellence and support. The curriculum is rigorous but tailored to the needs of each student. This is one of the few small Catholic schools with a dedicated Special Education Resource teacher which meant a lot given the needs of our child. Teachers know each child by name and take the time to understand their strengths and areas for growth. With smaller class sizes, our kids are able to engage more directly with their teachers, ask questions, and really dive into their studies. The personalized attention they receive fosters a genuine love of learning and helps them succeed in ways that are sometimes difficult to achieve in larger, more impersonal institutions. In addition, at the heart of Holy Redeemer is a firm commitment to Catholic values, which are seamlessly woven into every part of the school day. From morning prayers to whole school service projects, our children are growing not just in their intellectual abilities but in their character. They’re learning the importance of empathy, integrity, spirituality and community, all of which will stay with them long after they’ve moved on to the next phase of their education."

We have 2 students at HRS. The teachers are what make this school so awesome - I have never seen more commitment and dedication to ensuring students thrive. Whenever we need extra support, the teachers have gone above and beyond to make sure my kid's best interest is priority. I am really happy to see a strong focus on STEM related subjects. The community is welcoming and close knit. We love all of the extra curriculars available - our kids participate in Girls on the Run, CYO, Girl Scouts - all run by awesome parents and family members who go above and beyond to give the kids opportunities to learn and grow.

"We love Holy Redeemer School! It is an incredible, close-knit school with a community that is fully committed to its success. We were first drawn to HRS for its reputation in our neighborhood as being a welcoming school with a firm anti-bullying stance. The teachers and administration work hard to maintain a supportive learning environment where students feel welcome and wanted. What sets HRS apart from other area schools is its small class sizes, its balanced and integrated STEM curriculum, and its committment to developing the whole person. HRS students are some of the nicest kids I have ever met. The teachers here are incredible educators that encourage collaboration and inspire a joyful curiousity in their students. What I love most about the school is how the teachers (due to the small class sizes and their tenure at the school) really know my kids and are able to encourage and support them one-on-one. This personal attention has really helped my kids to thrive -- both academically and personally. In short -- if you are looking for a welcoming school where your child can get a phenomenal eduction in a safe environment, please join us!"
