The benefits of a single-sex education for young women are numerous.
Convent of the Sacred Heart challenges each student to take intellectual risks and recognizes the need to give focused attention and support in mathematics, science and technology. Faculty members at Sacred Heart teach with an eye to each girl’s success in school, in the larger community and in life.

Convent of the Sacred Heart seeks highly motivated applicants who are academically prepared and whose talents and intellectual curiosity will enable them to take advantage of the challenging curriculum and rich resources the School offers. The Sacred Heart Admission Committee looks for students whose respect for differences and compassion for others will lead them to make positive contributions to the School community.

The admission process is designed to provide the best possible opportunity for an applicant and her family to understand Sacred Heart’s mission embodied in the Goals & Criteria. At the same time, through the School’s commitment to understand each applicant’s educational background and interests, each can be satisfied that the right match has been made for a student’s successful education.

Prospective students and families are encouraged to attend one of Sacred Heart’s tour days, held once a month from October through January, or our annual Saturday afternoon Open House in November.

Schedules are designed to highlight the School’s academic programs, in addition to the wide range of extracurricular activities available.
