Welcome to our Holy Cross School
Community
Holy Cross School is located in the south of the Okanagan Valley in Penticton, British Columbia. We are a Catholic Independent School in the Diocese of Nelson that provides an enriching learning experience for students from Kindergarten to grade 8. We believe that parents are the primary educators of their children and it is our mission to support and foster the work that has begun at home. At Holy Cross School, students will be treated respectfully and will be given the opportunity to enhance their God given talents to meet or exceed his/her potential.
At Holy Cross, students will experience an inclusive school community committed to:

Developing character through Christ
with a special emphasis on knowing each student and growing their unique potential.
