Prize Day
For the sake of one child, I would have founded the Society ... 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
Our History
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.
Sacred Heart "The Rosary"
Academy of the Sacred Heart is a legacy of the Society of the Sacred Heart ...
St. Rose Philippine Duchesne
The mission of Sacred Heart's global education is to form students who are aware of their moral and ethical responsibilities in a globalized world.
