“The schools of the Sacred Heart emphasize studies
which nurture the desire for truth.
You will be challenged by the intellectual
dimension of your education.”
— Life at the Sacred Heart
The Academy of the Sacred Heart values academic excellence and inspires in children a lifelong love of learning. Open to boys and girls in Pre-Kindergarten through Grade 8, the school provides a rigorous curriculum at all grade levels. Students grow in the ability to think creatively, critically and reflectively, and develop strong study habits along the way.
A variety of engaging activities meets the needs of today’s highly visual and creative child. In addition to challenging coursework in core subjects, the curriculum is enhanced by a strong emphasis on writing, international language studies, comprehensive technology instruction, acclaimed art and music programs, and daily physical education classes for every student.
At the heart of successful learning is the student-teacher relationship. Small classes enable Academy teachers to engage students in active, student-centered lessons that allow them to develop both conceptual and experiential knowledge. Numbers tell much of the story: median ITBS test scores for Academy students are typically 10-12 points above regional and national averages, and 99% of our graduates gain admittance to their first-choice high school.
