Holy Child School at Rosemont (Holy Child) is an independent, co-educational, Catholic school educating preschool through 8th grade, situated on approximately twelve acres amidst an institutional/residential neighborhood in Philadelphia’s western suburbs.  

Part of a historic expansion project that is almost doubling Holy Child’s campus in size, the Fitzgerald Performing Arts and Athletics Center is a 10,996-SF multi-purpose addition to Holy Child’s aging, existing gymnasium building which allows for athletic use, performing arts, and gathering spaces.

stadium seating creates a beautiful atmosphere that functions well for both basketball practice and PE classes, while also transforming seamlessly for theater performances and assemblies.
