“Preparing Students to live God-Honoring Lives”

Holly Grove is an independent, private, Christian, co-educational day school that was established in 1976 with 19 students, and has since grown to an enrollment of over 500 from Pre-Kindergarten to 12th grade. The campus is 10 miles north of the Maryland-Virginia border on the Eastern Shore of Maryland and draws its students from both states. 

Welcome from the Head of School

Holly Grove Christian School began in the fall of 1976 with nineteen students, and today serves over 530 students and their families. For over 45 years, Holly Grove has provided a quality Christ-centered education to families on the Eastern Shore by offering a traditional program for students in Pre-Kindergarten through 12th grade.

The school is located in a beautiful rural setting on 51 acres in Westover, Maryland. Students travel to our campus every day from as far away as Delmar and Chincoteague and the lower Eastern Shore of Virginia, with many families making use of our six bus routes.

Holly Grove Christian School offers a strong academic program. Our graduates have received millions of dollars in college scholarships over the years.  HGCS is accredited by Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools and ACSI. I invite you to come and enjoy the family atmosphere! 

We are here to serve you, so if you have any questions about Holly Grove Christian School, please contact me directly at mcurtis@hgcsweb.com.
