Flintridge Sacred Heart Academy

[EduCativ]

Flintridge Sacred Heart Academy, a Catholic, Dominican, independent, college-preparatory, day and boarding school, educates young women for a life of faith, integrity, and truth. An integrated life of study, prayer, service, and community, predicated on Veritas's motto — truth — constitutes the pillars of Dominican life and the foundation of Flintridge Sacred Heart Academy. FSHA was established in 1931 for the education of young women. FSHA shares in the 800-year heritage of the Dominican Order of Preachers, which is embedded in the Catholic faith.
A Catholic, Dominican vision of education commits FSHA to educate the whole person in an educational setting that allows adolescent girls to flourish into young women who are well-prepared for college and beyond. To this end, FSHA strives to partner with parents in the formation of their daughters. FSHA recognizes the interdependence of physical, emotional, spiritual, intellectual, social, and environmental health and their learning benefits. Thus, FSHA offers a rigorous college-preparatory curriculum, outstanding visual and performing arts, an excellent athletic program, a dynamic campus ministry and service program, unique leadership opportunities in clubs, athletics, and co-curricular.
Diversity is a vital element of Flintridge Sacred Heart Academy's mission to educate young women for a life of faith, integrity, and truth. At FSHA, we seek to create and sustain a vibrant, inclusive community and we value and appreciate the uniqueness within each person to honor the diversity of God's creation.
Academic excellence is at the core of Flintridge Sacred Heart, and the school's broad curriculum thoroughly prepares graduates for their journey into higher education. They become scholars, athletes, writers, visual and performing artists, and leaders within their communities. Our girls take risks, try new things, and accept challenges within the safe environment of FSHA. As a result, they learn to succeed and fail with dignity and grace, ultimately discovering their special talents and unique gifts.
Our dedicated faculty and staff recognize the inner beauty and individual potential of each teenage girl. Over her four high school years, she realizes the fullness of whom she is becoming by finding her unique voice. Here, the Dominican charism governing our Catholic education is bold and vibrant – a philosophy that recognizes each person's intrinsic worth. We encourage you to visit our campus during the admissions process and speak with students and faculty, and to experience for yourself the distinctive spirit that is Flintridge Sacred Heart Academy.
