From Academy of the Sacred Heart

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.

I am an alum and current parent at the Academy. I would recommend this school to any family looking for a second home for their children. The Academy is rich in tradition, but also adapts to the present. The community is faith based and welcoming! The Academy has high academic expectations where they help each student strive towards their personal best and create works of excellence in all subjects. This school recognizes that students are at various stages of learning, forming habits of independence, accountability, and social maturity; however, it is their goal to provide opportunities for each to develop these skills within themselves. Students leave this school with confidence in who they are as a child of God, a learner, and an informed citizen. They are prepared to utilize their study habits, problem solving skills, communication skills, and desire to serve in their future educational endeavors and throughout their life. Set up a tour to see for yourself!

You must start by touring this school! We cannot speak highly enough of our kids’ experience at ASH! During our school search in early 2021, we were looking for Catholic education in a small, child-centered classroom environment. From the day we took our initial tour, we were impressed by the culture of this school. The tuition and time spent commuting (30 minutes one-way) are definitely a commitment, but absolutely worth it because our children are thriving. There is something special about this school community that cannot be put into words until you experience it in person.

My two daughters are recent graduates (‘18 and ‘21) of the Academy and I recommend it highly to parents looking for a school committed to the all-around growth of their child. When we first visited the Academy, we immediately (while still in the parking lot) knew we wanted our daughters to be there. It was one of those moments when you just know something is right. Immediately, we felt the Academy was a place where our girls would grow in a caring, respectful, and intellectually and spiritually enriching environment. We were not disappointed. I recall the Admissions Director emailing me on my 4-year old’s first day while I was at work, that she had seen my daughter and she was all smiles - easing my mind and lifting my heart. Years later, both girls left the Academy with confidence in who they are and with exceptional writing and time management skills, all helping make the high school transition successful. We make alot of decisions as parents - we know we got this one right.
