Sacred Heart academic program provides a strong
educational foundation that enables students to
become competent, independent and creative thinkers.
Students are expected to be active participants
in the learning process, constructing their own
learning through exploration of the world, inquiry
and the process of discovery. An interdisciplinary
approach to learning helps students discover and
understand the relevance of all subject areas. The
strength of each program lies in the development
of higher order thinking skills. Students are expected
to analyze, criticize, evaluate and make important
connections with the concepts they learn. This approach
to education fosters the development of a student
who is open to learning and the joys of life.
Science and Technology: Defining
New Horizons
Sacred Heart’s faculty
members are dedicated to helping girls and young
women develop their talents in science and technology,
as well as identify their aptitude for careers in
related fields. To facilitate students’ studies,
technology has been fully integrated into the curriculum
at Convent of the Sacred Heart—across academic
disciplines and at all grade levels. Every Lower
School classroom, Middle and Lower School computer
lab and office on campus is networked through a
fiber-optic backbone to our file, print, database,
e-mail and Web servers. In addition, all students
have access to the Media Center, and young women
in Grades 7-12 participate in our Laptop
Program.
Dedicated Teachers Create
Rich Learning Experiences
Inspired by ongoing professional
development, faculty members bring passion and innovation
to every learning experience. More than 75 percent
of faculty members hold master’s degrees and
seven faculty members have PhDs. Individual teaching
styles are complemented by a common commitment to
all-girls education and the Goals
& Criteria of Sacred Heart. Faculty regularly
participate in workshops, summer study, curriculum
development, travel and research as well as serve
as personal and academic advisors, club advisors
and coaches.
