Building Relationship Skills

Academy of the Sacred Heart promotes the inherent dignity of the human person and strives for relationships characterized by inclusion and mutual respect. The Preschool and Lower School community, students, faculty, and staff, utilize a variety of programs to carry out this mission. 

In short, we help shape a positive self-concept and self-awareness formed through faith, experience and learning.

Morning Meetings

Throughout the Preschool and Loweschool, students, classroom teachers, and enrichment faculty, begin the day by participating in Morning Meeting. The Morning Meeting is an engaging way to start each day, build a strong sense of community, and set children up for success socially and academically. 

Buddies

Older students in Lower School serve as buddies and mentors for Preschool and Little Heart students. Activities are planned that promote community building and collaboration. 

Smock Patrol

Our Sacred Heart mission challenges us to form future leaders to serve with faith, intellect and compassion. Each year, Fourth Grade students lead the Smock Patrol where they are responsible for welcoming students, parents, and faculty in the gates each morning. Most importantly, they are responsible for leading preschool students to their morning destinations. 

Group Guidance and Playroom

In the Counseling Program, all students in grades one through four have the opportunity to participate in the building of community as a Christian value through Playroom activities and Group Guidance sessions that are pertinent to the developmental age of the students.

Play Group allows students to take responsibility to make their own appointment to engage in socialization and play with their classmates during lunch and/or recess. Our approach considers the nature of human development, including the general stages that individuals experience as they mature into an adolescent. 

We are All in This Together: 3rd Grade Retreat

3rd Grade students participate in a fall and spring team building and leadership retreat. The fall retreat is led by teachers and counselors on the Rosary Campus and the spring retreat, students travel to the City Park Ropes Course. With the theme of We are All in this Together, the morning has been carefully named and designed with our students in mind by the third grade teachers.
