- Language Arts (reading, literature, writing, grammar, spelling and penmanship)
- Mathematics

In keeping with the Sacred Heart philosophy of educating the whole child, a strong emphasis on character formation is at the heart of our Lower School program. Read more about the non-academic areas of growth in Unique Program Features.
