Why Holy Family?

As a parent of two children who have been part of this school for nearly five years, I can confidently say that choosing this school has been one of the best decisions for our family. This Catholic school offers far more than an excellent academic education, it provides a foundation rooted in faith, values, and character. The teachers and staff are deeply committed not only to academic excellence but also to nurturing kindness, integrity, responsibility, and compassion in every student. The emphasis on moral development alongside strong academics creates a truly well-rounded learning environment. The sense of community here is exceptional. It feels like an extended family. Parents are welcomed, involved, and valued. There is a genuine partnership between families and faculty, and that support system makes a meaningful difference in our children’s growth and confidence. Academically, the standards are high, and students are encouraged to challenge themselves while receiving individualized attention and guidance. Spiritually, the school fosters a strong sense of faith and service, teaching children the importance of gratitude, empathy, and giving back to others. After almost five years, we continue to feel grateful for the loving, structured, and faith-filled environment this school provides. It is a place where children are not only educated, but truly known, supported, and inspired to become their best selves.

“Holy Family Classical Academy has an exceptional environment of support for childhood joy that, added to the small class sizes and dedicated staff, have created explosive and continuous learning for our son. The community in and around the school has been a bright spot for us during our time in Lacey. We love Holy Family!”

Our family feels incredibly blessed to be part of the Holy Family school community. From the teachers and staff, to the students- there is a genuine sense of care and connection that makes Holy Family truly special. One of the things we appreciate most is the strong community feel- everyone looks out for one another, no matter their age or grade level- fostering a positive environment where students constantly feel supported, valued, and encouraged. The school's faith- based foundation is also meaningful to our family. Seeing Christ- like values modeled and taught each day helps build not only strong students, but a strong sense of character and of faith. We are so grateful our child is growing academically, spiritually, and socially in such a loving and supportive environment.

“We absolutely love the atmosphere at Holy Family Classical Academy. From staff to each child and their family. My daughter has grown leaps and bounds with the guidance from her teacher, the principal, and all staff. She’s been fortunate to have older kids as role models who helped her as well as all the younger kids during mass, as reading buddies, math buddies, and even on the playground after school.”

“Our daughter has been at this school since preschool, and it has truly been a blessing for our family. We have seen how, in addition to learning academically, her ethical and Christian values have been strengthened. We really appreciate the positive environment at the school and the care the teachers show toward the children. It is clear that they are committed to forming not only good students, but also good people. We are very grateful for the entire school community and would definitely recommend it to other families.”
