Holy Cross Academy was formed in 2017 by the combination of Saint Sebastian Elementary School and Saint Teresa of Avila Elementary School, both in Ross Township, Pennsylvania, as part of the North HIlls Catholic Elementary Schools Regionalization. Together, the two elementary schools have been educating young minds and souls for more than 160 years. While the names of the two schools have changed, what hasn't changed is the spiritual and academic foundation that has been the hallmark of both for generations. Beginning in preschool, Holy Cross Academy students have opportunities unmatched at other Catholic schools. Our comprehensive curriculum offers religion, social studies, reading, technology, fine arts, physical education, science, math, language arts and world languages combined with clean, secure and modern facilities, advanced technology, a state of the art library and science and computer laboratories, Holy Cross Academy also offers enriching educational activities beyond the classroom and competitive athletic teams, We excel at preparing students for high school and beyond. Our commitment to building strong minds is matched by our commitment to building strong faith and character. From preschool through eighth grade, we teach values and provide character building life lessons in each area of our curriculum throughout our school day, and we celebrate Mass as a school community each week. We also believe that as a Catholic community we are called to serve others, particularly those who do not enjoy the same benefits as we do. Our students participate in a variety of service projects each year where they learn about the world beyond their classroom, to care about their neighbors far and wide, and to continue their commitment of service as they proceed through life. We welcome families of all faiths to our school and are mindful and respectful of their traditions, values and beliefs. Sebastian campus, located at 311 Siebert Road in Ross Township.
