Mission & Goals of Sacred Heart Education
"Our education is not meant to turn the children out small and finished, but seriously begun on a wide-basis. Therefore they must leave us with some self-knowledge, some energy, some purpose...If they leave us without these three things they drift with the stream of life.” – Janet Erskine Stuart

Where a love for learning begins
Our Primary School (kindergarten through 2nd grade) places children on the path to a life-long love of learning. Our curriculum encourages curiosity, stimulates thinking and helps to instill in each child a sense of self-confidence.

Faith & Service
"Above all, get in the habit of thinking about God." - St. Madeleine Sophie Barat
Sacred Heart is a place of welcome. The experience of First Communion engages all 2nd graders whether they are Roman Catholic and receiving the sacrament or journeying with their friends.

Learning doesn't stop when the last school bell rings
"The goal of Student Life programming at Sacred Heart is to help children discover their passion, gain confidence, and–yes–maybe even figure out what they want to do when they grow up." – Sally Sharp, Head of Student Life
