The goal of the educational program is to provide the opportunities and challenges necessary for students to achieve their full potential as Christian women in today's society. To achieve this goal, the curriculum offers students a variety of learning experiences in liberal and creative arts, mathematics, science, and career education. The faculty of Holy Cross encourages students to succeed in the educational program by recognizing and providing for individual needs and differences in learning styles.

As part of the community of faith at Holy Cross, students are encouraged to clarify their Christian values, deepen their relationships with God and others, and develop individual responsibilities for promoting justice in the world
