In 2023-2024, Upper School students traveled to Montreal, Brisbane, London, Rome, and Mexico City. In Middle School, 8th grade students traveled to Bloomfield Hills, Chicago, Greenwich, San Francisco, Princeton, and Bellevue; and they participated in individual exchanges with our Sacred Heart Network schools.
Every year during our campus Exchange Fair, students share their experiences with fellow ASH prospective global exchange students. Qualified students in grades 8-12 can take advantage of Sacred Heart's unique exchange program, staying with a host family and attending another school in the national or international Sacred Heart Network for several weeks. Typically, their host "sister" then travels to New Orleans, stays at their house, attend school at the Rosary, and explores all things New Orleans.
Past participants have attended schools in Canada, France, Chile, the U.K., Ireland, Peru, Austria, Spain and Australia. And they consistently rate the experience as one of the most formative of their young lives, in terms of broadening their perspective and building lifelong friendships.
Reciprocity:
Our Rosary students attend school and live with a Sacred Heart family in another country. Before or after her trip, the Rosary student in turn will host an international student in New Orleans. Hosting allows our students to view their own country, culture and lifestyle through the eyes of their exchange student – and costs are minimal.
