Lower School

Lower School programming is centered on developing strong self-esteem in every child through the combined efforts of teachers, parents and the Head of Lower School. The Lower School academic program includes language arts, social studies, mathematics,
science, religion, music, physical education and art. The World Language program introduces students to either Spanish, French or Chinese in Kindergarten. Students also receive instruction in technology. The Lower School Community Service program is based on the service learning model. Service learning projects encourage students to act out of a desire to meet a genuine need and connections between community service efforts and the Sacred Heart goals are continually emphasized. Details of the Lower School curriculum are available in the Lower School Curriculum Guide.

Assemblies, sports programs and hallway displays provide regular opportunities to reinforce each student’s sense of achievement and promote her growth as a person. Faculty members, moreover, are always alert to recognize individual students who display a special talent or ability.

An array of after-school activities—including dance, sports, crafts, workshops and swimming—enhance the regular academic program. Our Extended Day option provides care after School in a familiar environment with consistent expectations.
