Why the Academy?

We are Buzzing with Gratitude!

Country Fair brought students and parents, faculty and staff, alums and parents of alums, grandparents and friends together to enjoy a spectacular fall day on campus. We are grateful to all who helped bring this favorite fall tradition to life and remind us why the Academy is so special.

On Oct. 2 the Academy of the Sacred Heart announced Blessed by a Saint: Philippine’s Path Forward — a $12 million capital campaign that will address three strategic priorities.

Mr. Timothy Horner, 46th Head of School, shared the news with students, faculty/staff, parents, grandparents, alumni, parents of alumni, and friends at an assembly following First Friday Mass.

“We’re so lucky to welcome the students of ASH to Forget Me Not Adult Day Services! Their visits bring our seniors so much joy, laughter, and happiness while creating beautiful memories together.”

Last week, Middle School students embarked on their first Service Learning of the year, living out Goal 3 with area organizations supporting the impoverished, elderly, and youth. Each grade level has a different focus for the year…

The Academy of the Sacred Heart has been awarded full membership in the Independent Schools Association of the Central States (ISACS). This designation differentiates our school as the only ISACS school in St. Charles, and places us in good company with 28 outstanding independent schools in the metro area.

The Academy shares the five Goals of Sacred Heart education — the essence of our principles and values, with 24 Network of Sacred Heart Schools in the U.S. and Canada. Both timeless and timely, these Goals and their supporting criteria express what is at the heart of Sacred Heart education.

In May, we focus on Goal 5 — personal growth in an atmosphere of wise freedom — and look at the accompanying Criteria that provide depth and inspiration for all members of our community.
