School History & Details

Once upon a time, there was a group of pioneering women who believed in the power of education to transform the world. These women were the Sisters of the Holy Cross Menzingen, and they dedicated their lives to spreading knowledge and wisdom to all those who would listen. For years, the Sisters worked tirelessly to educate young minds, sharing their knowledge and love of learning with students of all ages. But they longed for a place of their own - a space where they could truly thrive and create the kind of learning environment they dreamed of. And so, in 1931, they founded the Holy Cross Preparatory School - a beacon of education and inspiration for generations to come. From its very inception, the school was imbued with the Sisters' Christian ethos, and students were taught not just how to read and write, but also how to live with purpose and meaning. Over time, the school grew and flourished, attracting students from far and wide who were drawn to its unique blend of academic rigor and spiritual guidance. In 1971, Holy Cross Prep finally moved to its new, permanent home - a place where it could continue to fulfill the Sisters' mission for years to come. Today, Holy Cross Preparatory School stands as a testament to the power of education, the importance of community, and the enduring legacy of the Sisters of the Holy Cross Menzingen. With its ecumenical framework and unwavering commitment to academic excellence, it continues to inspire young minds and foster a lifelong love of learning. And though the Sisters themselves may be long gone, their spirit lives on in every corner of the school - a shining example of what can be achieved when passion, perseverance, and a dedication to the greater good come together.

Holy Cross Preparatory School has proven itself yet again with its latest academic achievement. In 2021, the school received a renewed exemption from the learning and development requirements of the EYFS Framework for children aged 3-5. This remarkable achievement grants the school the freedom to exercise their professional judgment in implementing a curriculum with teaching strategies that best cater to the needs of bright and eager young learners. The school's dedicated team of specialist teachers takes on the challenge of providing early access to the year 1 curriculum as appropriate, inspiring the highly motivated girls to become capable risk-takers and independent thinkers. Their commitment to supporting students' learning goes beyond just academic excellence. At some point during their school career, pupils who require additional support can be identified and provided with either short or long-term strategies, enabling them to progress effectively with the curriculum. One of the most remarkable aspects of Holy Cross Preparatory School is its ability to enable access to highly selective senior schools, and preparation for scholarships in a variety of areas such as academia, music, sport, drama, and art. The school truly believes that every student has the potential to achieve excellence in any area they set their minds to. This success is attributed to their unending pursuit of innovation and excellence in education. Holy Cross Preparatory School sets an impressive standard in education that everyone aspires to reach.
