Our Mission
As a Catholic, Independent, Sacred Heart school for students of all faiths, Academy of the Sacred Heart educates students to learn, serve, and lead with confidence, self-awareness, and integrity.
Our education is not meant to turn the children out small and finished, but seriously begun on a wide basis. Therefore they must leave us with some self-knowledge, some energy, some purpose. St. Madeleine Sophie Barat
More than 200 years ago, St. Madeleine Sophie Barat founded the Society of the Sacred Heart with a simple but powerful vision: to educate the whole person—mind, body, and spirit—in an environment rooted in love and purpose. That vision lives on today through the Goals and Criteria of Sacred Heart Education, which guide how we teach, mentor, and care for each student.
