About Us
A Sacred Heart education is part of something bigger...
"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

Sacred Heart places children on the path to a lifelong love of learning. Our curriculum encourages curiosity, stimulates thinking and helps to instill in each child a sense of self-confidence.

Community Life
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 perhaps even discover what they want to be when they grow up.

Faith & Service
"Above all, get in the habit of thinking about God." - St. Madeleine Sophie Barat
Sacred Heart is a place of welcome for families of all faiths. We encourage all students to develop a strong and loving relationship with God. Each year, we prepare Catholic students for the sacraments of First Holy Communion and Confirmation.

A remarkable education comes from the heart.
Sacred Heart does more than educate children for high school; we educate them for life. The Annual Fund, which depends on every family, every year, is one way to ensure that new and emerging needs throughout the academic year are met. Please be assured that every gift is vital to each student’s experience of academic rigor, community, tradition and service outreach.
