The Academy of the Sacred Heart is a Catholic, independent school that offers students the opportunity to learn and grow in a safe and happy environment. Our preschool through eighth grade program focuses on building strong academic skills while fostering independent learning and communication. Curriculum highlights include: three Science labs, 1:1 computing, French and Spanish, daily Physical Education, and recognized Art and Music 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.

We researched several schools both public and faith based and were curious what offerings the school provided that made the tuition higher than parochial schools. Academy of the Sacred Heart is a giant leap above other schools. The Academy of the Sacred Heart has very high standards of academic achievement as well as high standards of teaching them to grow into generous globally conscious individuals. The school excels in STEM and also in the arts and foreign language. Band starts in third grade! My husband is a public school teacher and noted several textbooks for 6th graders, were the same that 7th graders use in MO public schools. Students are learning a year ahead of the public school system. We are thrilled with the growth & development our children have received. The class sizes are meant to be small with a max of 16 students per class to ensure students are getting the attention to thrive and excel. All the other schools paled in comparison to the Academy of the Sacred Heart.

I am an alum and a current parent at the Academy. The education and the formation under the 5 goals and criteria established is second to none. The magic that happens on campus is founded in seasoned educators and leaders. Most importantly, my children receive focused attention. They are loved and part of a community of future leaders. Please take a tour or call the Admissions Director if you have any questions - you wont regret it!

The Academy offers a whole of child education that includes a rigorous curriculum, numerous extracurricular clubs and activities, teaching and living out faith, and encouraging students to unabashedly express who they are as individuals. This is all accomplished through the Five Goals of the Sacred Heart. The Academy is not just a school; it is a home for the students and families.
The students transition easily into high school with the formal and informal education that they receive. They are confident, engaged learners, public speakers, social justice advocates, and grounded individuals who believe in themselves and share their gifts with those around them.
The Academy has surrounded our children with love, giving them a safe home and an outlet for growth. The children are encouraged and complimented, as well as taught to keep a growth mindset and accept constructive criticism to further their development. The Academy is a blessing to our family.
