Your interest in Sacred Heart School
is evidence that you are committed to doing the very best you can for your
child. SHS provides a rare combination of talented educators who are
professionals in their educational specialties and, at the same time, are
experienced in fostering the development of the total child. Many of our
teachers’ own children are enrolled in SHS and many SHS alumni send their
children here because each child is given an education marked by excellence
in learning and, equally important, is regarded as an individual with
special gifts, talents, and abilities.
Whether your child is a three- or
four-year old ready for Pre-kindergarten, a five-year-old looking forward to
Kindergarten, or an older child who wants a friendly, family atmosphere for
learning, you will want to look at all that Sacred
Heart has to offer.
At Sacred Heart School:
- The curriculum provides a strong foundation in the basics and builds
academic enrichment through electives, particularly in junior high
- Leadership is fostered through classroom
responsibilities, service projects, “buddies” for reading and prayer,
student government, and other age-appropriate activities
- Service to the school and the wider community give children a sense
of using their talents to help others
- Parental involvement is encouraged
- The challenging curriculum encourages eager students to do their
best and provides reluctant learners with safety nets to ensure a
positive educational experience for each child
- The
strength of the curriculum is evident in the results of standardized Terra
Nova tests that show students consistently scoring at or above the norm for
their grade levels.

Our Faith Community
supports and sustains
our children in their religious growth, reinforcing their whole-ness and
holy-ness at each crucial developmental stage. The Catholic education
focus at SHS means that students are encouraged to develop a set of
moral behaviors that include respect for oneself and others. Teachers in
this setting view each child as a special Gift from God entrusted to us
by caring parents. The Sacred in each child is acknowledged and
nurtured.
