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.
During the month of April, we focus on Goal 4: The building of community as a Christian value. One aspect of Goal 4 is “building relationships characterized by inclusion and mutual respect.”
As we focus on Goal 4 — the building of community as a Christian value — we look at the accompanying Criteria that provide depth and inspiration for all members of our community.
All members of the school community support a clean, healthy and safe environment.- Members of the school community practice and teach with a spirit of peace and reconciliation the principles of non-violence and conflict management.
- School leadership demonstrates a conscious effort to recruit students and employ faculty and staff of diverse races, ethnicities and backgrounds.
School leadership allocates financial resources to support socioeconomic diversity both in the admissions process and in the daily life of students.- The school, affirming that all are created in the image and likeness of God, promotes the inherent dignity of the human person and strives for relationships characterized by inclusion and mutual respect.
- The school implements an ongoing plan for educating all members of the community to the charism, mission and heritage of the Society of the Sacred Heart.
- The school engages with the Network of Sacred Heart Schools in the United States and Canada and Sacred Heart schools around the world.
