Mission Statement

Sacred Heart Schools on Sheridan Road - the Academy of the Sacred Heart for Girls (founded in 1876) and Hardey Preparatory for Boys (founded in 1935) – are independent, Catholic, single-sex elementary schools committed to academic excellence within the context of a Christian community.  Sacred Heart Schools welcomes students of all races, religious beliefs and socio-economic backgrounds.  This educational mission is deeply rooted in the 200-year tradition of the Society of the Sacred Heart and shared with the Network of Sacred Heart Schools located on every major continent, including twenty-one schools in the United States. 

The essence of this educational vision and tradition is articulated in the Goals and Criteria of Sacred Heart schools:  

Sacred Heart Schools commit themselves to educate to:

1. a personal and active faith in God;
2. a deep respect for intellectual values;
3. a social awareness which impels to action;
4. the building of community as a Christian value;
5. personal growth in an atmosphere of wise freedom
