Why the Academy?

The Academy of the Sacred Heart is an independent Catholic school open to 3-year-old through 8th grade children of all faiths. Our program offers students the opportunity to learn and grow in a safe and happy environment, with a focus on building strong academic skills while fostering independent learning and communication. Curriculum highlights include: two Science labs, a Makerspace, 1:1 computing, French and Spanish, daily Physical Education, and recognized art, music and athletic 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.

From the Heart

April 10, 2025

April 10, 2025

Last week, we welcomed nine students from our sister school in San Luis Potosi, Mexico, Colegio Sagrado Corazon. These young learners and their chaperones, Sandra Ortiz and Carolina Martínez, experienced a busy week at the Academy, from classes to Congé. They made new friends and felt truly at home at the Academy.

The six young women stayed in the Duchesne Center, formerly the cloister for the nuns on the top floor of the Primary Wing. The three young men were welcomed into homes by Academy families. We share some of their reflections.

I loved the school, the way they treated me, and that I was able to practice my English. In the classrooms, they divide us into girls’ and boys’ classes, and SLP is mixed. I really enjoyed the activities we did during the classes, Congé, and all of my ASH friends.
