Holy Family's mission is to nurture the development of Skokie's children, whether social, academic, physical or spiritual. The staff members hope that, once imbued with intellectual curiosity, competitive academic skills, confidence, health and faith, the children in Holy Family's care will begin to thrive both socially and academically, and later, as adults, will make positive contributions in their communities, churches, and families. The school and youth development programs operated by Holy Family Ministries are open to all who enroll, and offered on a "first-come, first-served" basis, without regard to religion, race, ethnicity or previous academic achievement.
