FAITH DEVELOPMENT:
Students develop a personal and active faith in God (Goal I). Sacred spaces are available for student reflection, regardless of religious affiliation; in fact, the Academy of the Sacred Heart has often been called “a Catholic school for children of all faiths.” In addition to the religion instruction offered at every level, opportunities for spiritual growth abound, ranging from formal all-school liturgies to prayer services and daily espacio, a time for silent reflection during the academic day. A theology course is required annually and weekly service is part of the Upper School schedule.

UNIQUE ACADEMIC OFFERINGS:
In addition to many Honors and AP courses offered by our talented faculty, advanced online courses are available for students who wish to pursue additional courses of interest. Students participate in a local off-campus service placement every Thursday morning in small multi-age groups. Our students also participate in our annual signature experience of the Upper School called Project Term. Through the lens of Sacred Heart's Goals & Criteria, students gain awareness of the world around them during this 8-day experiential learning opportunity in locations around the globe using the Design Thinking Process.
