Why the Academy?

The Academy of the Sacred Heart is an independent Catholic school open to 3-year-old through 8th grade children of all faiths. Our program offers students the opportunity to learn and grow in a safe and happy environment, with a focus on building strong academic skills while fostering independent learning and communication. Curriculum highlights include: two Science labs, a Makerspace, 1:1 computing, French and Spanish, daily Physical Education, and recognized art, music and athletic programs.

Founded in 1818 by St. Philippine Duchesne, the Academy was the first of many Sacred Heart schools established in the United States. Our mission is to educate and inspire the heart and mind of each child to become a courageous and confident leader who knows and loves God, and who reveals that love by serving others. Our graduates are young men and women well prepared for the challenges of high school, college, and beyond.

From the Heart

April 17, 2025

April 17, 2025

The MORE Team from the Marianist Retreat Center recently led two powerful retreat days at the Academy of the Sacred Heart—one for the Sixth and Seventh Classes, and another for the Eighth Class. Students participated in a variety of activities, including a Mandala experience inspired by our Five Goals, lively ice-breakers, and small group discussions. Each retreat offered a meaningful opportunity for growth in servant leadership and continues to plant seeds of faith and hope in our community. For our Eighth Class students, it was both a wrap-up to their past year of student leadership at ASH and a launch into the new horizons of high school with courage and confidence. For our Sixth and Seventh Class students, this retreat has inspired them to become the best versions of themselves in their final years at the Academy. Thank you to Theology teacher Ms. Mary Furay for bringing this programming to our students.

“The retreat made me look at things from a different perspective that I never saw before.”
