About Me

  1. Initially founded in Seattle in 1907 by the Religious of the Sacred Heart and currently located in Bellevue, Washington, Forest Ridge educates and inspires girls and young women in 5th through 12th grades. Both a day and boarding school, Forest Ridge is the only Sacred Heart school in the Pacific Northwest. We are a Catholic, independent, college preparatory school and a recognized pioneer in all-girl high school and middle school education. Easily accessible from the nearby areas of Newcastle, Sammamish, Kirkland, Redmond, Renton & Woodinville, we're proud to welcome students from the Greater Seattle area and from around Western Washington. Forest Ridge graduates women who change the world. Our Mission tells the world why we exist today. Our Vision describes where our leadership wants to take our school tomorrow. Both statements are fundamentally crucial to our planning. Forest Ridge School of the Sacred Heart educates young women to think critically, embrace challenges, model resilience, confront injustice, seek equality, and lead globally in the pioneering spirit of our foundress. Our alumnae change the world. Our Vision is uncompromising excellence in educating girls in the Sacred Heart tradition. In keeping with St. Madeleine Sophie Barat's Vision for excellence in educating girls since 1800, Forest Ridge offers a program grounded in our rich Catholic tradition. We provide our young women the courageous leadership skills necessary to act with compassion and conviction in embracing the challenges of a diverse global society. Our alumnae respond generously to their local and global communities' needs and embrace their responsibilities to serve morally and ethically. St. Madeleine Sophie once said, "In this struggle concerning education, the Heart of Jesus asks us not for our blood, but our minds. We must strengthen our studies by intellectual work." Inspired by her words, our school's great strength is the expertise and dedication of our faculty and staff. Student-focused, passionate, and innovating, they continually apply best practices and new thinking in Teaching and Learning to open each student's mind in anticipation of the world they willfully join after graduation. As both a Microsoft School and Microsoft Showcase School, we host educators and Education leaders worldwide seeking insights into Forest Ridge's successes in integrating Technology across curricula. Our student's opportunities to work with Technology directly are diverse and evolving. Every day, students of all grade levels experience project-based learning, whether programming two NAO Humanoid Robots, learning to code in one of our Coding courses, or experimenting with 3D printers and laser engravers in our Maker Space. Utilizing our new Digital Media Lab, students can also immerse themselves in groundbreaking hardware and software. For example, students can pursue their creative passions with state of the art Microsoft Surface Studio devices for digital graphic design or discover the world of 3D interaction with the unique zSpace 3D computer. For a change of pace with more traditional technologies, students can dabble in video creation, green-screen capture, or audio projects utilizing a full complement of digital video cameras, microphones, and editing tools. Forest Ridge remains an active pioneer in Technology, and this spirit of innovation shines inside each of our classrooms, throughout our learning spaces, and across our campus.

  4. Duchesne Academy of the Sacred Heart exists for girls—shy or boisterous, precocious, or cautious—who are poised on the thresholds of the rest of their lives. Today, we offer Houston girls what Sacred Heart foundress Saint Madeleine Sophie Barat offered the girls of France more than 200 years ago—a stimulating, enveloping, and elevating education from which girls emerge uniquely as formed and confident young women. In our intimately scaled classrooms—an 8:1 student-to-teacher ratio—your daughter expands her intellect, faith, conscience, and sense of self as part of our dynamic sisterhood. And she grows in knowledge, confidence, and ability as she learns, laughs and plays, sings, and prays with her friends. Our curriculum, culture, and worldview connect with and promote the Goals and Criteria of the international Sacred Heart Network. Our single-sex education ensures that our classes and community offer the support, challenges, and freedom that allow girls to shine. As a college-prep school, we send our graduates to top colleges across the country. We also match them to colleges where they will continue contributing to their campus and the local community, developing their strengths, and thriving academically and socially. These are your daughter's formative years. At Duchesne, she joins a diverse and vibrant sisterhood of girls' information. The mission of Duchesne Academy is to inspire and prepare young women to engage in a lifelong pursuit of their faith in God, intellectual vitality, social awareness, and action, the building of community and personal growth, in the living tradition of Sacred Heart education. The Society of the Sacred Heart has been educating girls and young women for more than 200 years since Saint Madeleine Sophie Barat founded the order in 1800 "for the sake of one child." At Duchesne, we draw upon the full force and range of our Sacred Heart heritage to help our girls form-wise hearts and sharp minds. As your daughter's learning universe fills with possibility, Duchesne surrounds her with an enlivening and intellectually serious community that propels her to develop her unmistakable voice and discerning mind. In our intimately scaled, all-girls classrooms, your daughter revels in an atmosphere of mutual discovery, discussion, and respectful debate. Her teachers and classmates know her heart and her mind. They provoke new perspectives on a classic text, new approaches to a math problem, and newfound joy in learning for its own sake. As she progresses through Duchesne, simple arithmetic grows into complex calculus. Reading and writing approach—even surpass—what is expected at many colleges. Research skills evolve with her age and capabilities. And her understanding of her ability to change and shape her future gains profound clarity. One of Duchesne's missions is to empower young women with technological fluency. Our curriculum offers and supports a fully integrated, advanced technology program of interactive classrooms and innovative teachers.

Duchesne families often remark on the feeling of warmth and camaraderie they are greeted with every time they step on campus, a feeling that the school is a second home. We are undoubtedly inclusive and caring. We are also quite challenging in that a loving family expects the best from each child because they know how much potential resides within her. Within our enveloping Sacred Heart community, your daughter's formation means: Exploring her expansive relationship with God and forming a personal faith that guides her actions and helps her interpret the world. Immersing herself in original and challenging intellectual work and coming to know the joy and satisfaction that accompanies learning pursued its own sake. Developing an informed social conscience that impels her to put her knowledge and beliefs into meaningful action beyond the campus. Contributing her gifts and perspective to our dynamic community where she connects with classmates and teachers to construct a positive campus culture. Exercising the privilege of wise freedom, she earns and tests as she makes increasingly responsible and mature choices.

As a private, inclusive, Catholic school in the Sinsinawa Dominican educational tradition, we provide a college preparatory curriculum steeped in faith and values and co-curricular activities to satisfy every student's interests.

Our curriculum includes required and elective courses in art, aviation, business, computers, English, French, history, Latin, mathematics, music, Spanish, public speaking/communications, physical education, religious studies, science, and social studies. We take the African proverb, "It takes a village to raise a child," to heart. We know that our students, families, and faculty members cannot do it all alone. That is why we offer numerous student services to ensure the success of every child. From tutoring to career exploration to counseling, we fulfill that need if there is something a student needs. Spirituality is an essential part of our students' journey, and we take pride in fostering personal spiritual growth. Also, prayer and service, we offer religious studies courses and understand the importance of ministry programs and retreats that allow our school community to engage in non-academic, faith-based experiences. We seek a deeper source of fulfillment, develop a sense of purpose, and facilitate spiritual activities that carry our mission. Edgewood has a religiously diverse student body, so courses reach out to all students. We teach Catholic tradition, examine other faith traditions, and discuss commonalities and differences. Religious studies courses are academic and graded. All students can succeed in religious studies courses, regardless of faith background, for a list of all religious studies course offerings. A student's high school years are about academic preparation. However, they are also a time for teenagers to learn more about themselves, explore interests, develop social skills, and gain self-confidence. Students acquire positive values and attitudes that they will take with them into their adult life. Co-curricular activities are an integral and valuable part of a student's high school experience, and Edgewood High School is committed to sponsoring a wide variety of such activities. We are proud to say that more than 95 percent of our students participate in at least one club, activity, sport, and most participate in more. While difficult to measure, the educational value of co-curricular participation is extensive. Numerous studies have shown that students who are actively engaged in sports, fine arts, or clubs and organizations are also more likely to have heightened performance in the classroom. Spiritual study and reflection, retreats, liturgies, and prayer services are other aspects of campus life at Edgewood. Every student also must complete a minimum of 100 hours of service before graduation. Both Edgewood experience components are meant to create awareness and appreciation of the beliefs, traditions, life experiences, and circumstances of the range of people who live in our community.

Through these website pages, you will have an opportunity to become acquainted with the depth of our spiritual life, our expectations of academic rigor, the systems we support for age appropriate emotional development and intelligence, and the passion for well-being and athletic excellence introduced to all our students. We view education as a means to an end, and, in the spirit of the Sacred Heart, that end is to make God's love known in the world. As they grow in their self-understanding as God's Beloved, Carrollton students are given the foundation to be thoughtful women of courage and confidence. They will work on behalf of others, strengthen their community, and root themselves and their families in principles that will sustain them for life. As a School of the Sacred Heart, Carrollton holds that Jesus Christ is at the core of who we are. We believe that an informed, lively faith is the fruit of reading the Gospels and encountering the person of Jesus Christ as He is presented in the Scriptures. Carrollton graduates have a basic understanding of the Church's teaching about Christ and His redeeming mission, as well as an understanding of the Church's past and present role in that mission. Ideally, the Carrollton graduate begins through faith to affirm the belief that there is meaning in life and thereby has begun to develop a sense of hope. She has begun to form her conscience and evaluate moral choices and reason through moral issues with increasing clarity. She has begun to appreciate how a vibrant Christian community and the Eucharist celebration complement each other. She is learning through her failures of the need for healing and reconciliation. She is embracing Madeleine Sophie Barat's way of prayer with a daily practice of silence, of espacio. Our greatest hope is that the Carrollton graduate has developed her interior life so that she is one who trusts the Spirit dwelling within. We hope that she has developed the habit of looking for God in all things. This habitual instinct – to choose God – takes time and energy to develop. We want our graduates to know that a life rooted in prayer has both fullness and integrity. Based on the foundational principles articulated in the Goals and Criteria followed by all Sacred Heart schools in the country, Carrollton is a transformative experience intended to prepare girls intellectually, emotionally, spiritually, socially, and personally to successfully face the challenges of adulthood.

  9. WE ARE an independent, Catholic, college preparatory school for girls offering instruction from PreK 3 through grade 12. Academy of the Sacred Heart, founded in 1821, is an independent Catholic school enrolling girls in pre-primary through grade twelve with residential accommodations for students in grades seventh through twelve. As a member of the worldwide network of Sacred Heart Schools, the Academy of the Sacred Heart emphasizes the total development of mind, body, and spirit through an education rooted in the Catholic tradition. Students thrive in an environment characterized by seriousness of purpose, love of learning, creativity, and meaningful relationships. The Academy is committed to educating young women to a lively sense of God’s action in their lives, an acute understanding of the world, and courageous confidence that every person can make a difference. The Sacred Heart mission seeks to develop within each student a personal & active faith in God. “Rooted in the Catholic tradition, the Academy welcomes people of diverse beliefs and seeks to instill in its students a deep understanding and respect for people of different cultures and religions.” The goal at the Academy is to develop lifelong learners, emphasizing individual thought and experiential instruction, religious curriculum, active learning, small classes, and a professional faculty committed to the learning styles of young women. When it comes to preparing young women for college and life, it is essential to remember that girls learn differently from boys. We get that at the Academy, which is why we take our students out of the textbooks and into the world of learning – encouraging them to be problem solvers and independent thinkers. This independence helps prepare our students for whatever challenges life brings while also giving them the chance to discover who they are and, more importantly, who they want to be. The Academy offers an innovative program that focuses on the unique educational needs of girls. Sacred Heart education is of the very essence that it be genuinely concerned for each student’s total development: intellectual, physical, emotional, and spiritual. Sacred Heart education intends to educate the “whole child.” We strive to educate our students to be faith-filled and active leaders of tomorrow. We teach according to the ways that each gender learns best, and we encourage our students to identify their talents and develop them to their fullest potential. Current research points to the effectiveness of single-gender education for young women. Today, the demands placed on women emphasize the need to develop a sense of confidence and ability. Graduates of girls’ schools account for a significant percentage of women in leadership positions.

  11. Sacred Heart Catholic School is a vibrant and dynamic school with high expectations and great ambitions for every one of our pupils. We believe that discipline, structure, and common purpose are solid foundations for success in life and education, and we understand the value of professionalism and innovation in everything we do. We are a Catholic school with very strong moral values and a traditional approach to behavior and discipline our pupils to understand their rights and responsibilities, respect rules and boundaries, and learn to live in honesty and trust. Sacred Heart School consistently achieves outstanding academic results, way above local and national averages in every subject area. For example, in 2014, we became the first state school in Southwark to reach the landmark figure of 90% A*-C including English and Maths. The new measure for Progress 8, a more comprehensive measure of school success, places us firmly as one of the very top-performing schools in the country. Our relatively new Sixth Form has quickly followed suit and we have already sent many students to top universities, including Oxford, Cambridge, and many other members of the Russell Group. We fully expect to maintain the same high standards of academic success at A-Level in the coming years that we have reached GCSE. We also have an exceptional record of helping our pupils to achieve more than they think is possible. Sacred Heart has consistently been in the top 2% of the country for adding value to pupils’ education at both Key Stage 3 and 4. As well as outstanding academic outcomes Sacred Heart prides itself on educating the whole child. Academic results will only go so far and we insist on a comprehensive program of moral education, teaching good manners, respect, and a determination to show our pupils that Gospel values are to be lived by, especially when it comes to looking after and caring for those less fortunate. Our Vision: "As a school dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, we work to bring one another to an awareness of the fullness and meaning of life, rooted in the love of Jesus". Mission Statement: "Our school strives to be a Catholic community in which Christian principles of care and respect are valued, with emphasis on the development of the individual through academic achievement and personal development". To achieve our vision we will: Recognize and treasure the unique gifts of each pupil and do all that we can to allow these to develop and flourish. Provide the highest possible quality of education where each child is challenged to pursue the highest standards in spiritual, moral, cultural, intellectual, and physical development in an environment of academic endeavor and personal discipline. Create a welcoming community of faith that witnesses to the teachings of the gospel and fosters strong bonds of love within the community we serve. Form our pupils in the attitudes of the heart of Jesus expressed in respect, compassion, forgiveness, and generosity. Learning at Sacred Heart is interactive, engaging, and relevant to the real world. Our pupils have a strong grounding in traditional core academic subjects (English, Maths, Science, and RE) from Year 7 onwards, providing a positive platform for achievement in other areas. They learn how to prepare, organize and motivate themselves for work each day, and we support them at every stage of their school career. We want them to be excited by their learning, to recognize its importance, and to be proud of their achievements in every discipline. Sacred Heart has long bathed in the light of outstanding GCSE results and, since the establishment of our Sixth Form, we now have excellent A-Level grades to celebrate too. Our traditional approach and very strong moral values have been carried forward into our Sixth Form as we prepare our young adults for places at the country’s top universities, including offers already in our first few years of operation from Oxford, Cambridge, and many other Russell Group universities. Our curriculum is wide-ranging and proactive, designed to meet the needs of everyone’s abilities, interests, and aspirations for the future. Our pupils learn to think for themselves and we encourage them to become independent learners who ask good questions, think creatively, and solve problems with confidence. By the time our pupils leave school, we want them to be self-disciplined and focused young people who are determined to succeed in whatever career they choose to pursue. Here at Sacred Heart, we believe that learning experiences do not just take place in the classroom, or even in school, but in our local community and further afield too. We appreciate that pupils learn and develop into well-rounded individuals when they are performing on stage or in music concerts, when they are camping in the countryside, or when they are visiting other countries and experiencing other cultures. We celebrate our Catholic traditions as a community and have a special relationship with the Parishes of Sacred Heart and English Martyrs. We encourage our pupils to ‘live their faith’ and work together to raise thousands of pounds for charity. This work allows our pupils to reach out and support not only their local community but also the needy elsewhere in the world. Sacred Heart Catholic School is a united and happy community with a clear sense of purpose and direction. We promote a culture of respect for self and others and we have a very strict, traditional, and rigorous approach to discipline. Our pupils receive consistent messages about good behavior, appearance, manners, and trust. They learn to take responsibility for themselves and to understand their duties as good citizens. We want them to set high standards in their communities and to learn how to lead others with dignity and determination. Sacred Heart Catholic School has received national recognition for the value it adds to enable students' high achievement at GCSE. The school qualified for three SSAT Educational Outcomes Awards by being in the top 10% of non-selective schools nationally for high attainment the top 10% for progress made by pupils between their key stage 2 results at primary school and their GCSE results at age 16 and special recognition for their success in enabling students to fulfill their potential.
  12. The University of the Sacred Heart, Tokyo, has maintained its commitment towards Liberal Arts education since it was founded six decades ago. The current changes in society, along with the surge of unpredictable events in which people are required to survive the times by supporting one another, calls for an urgent need to educate the people to broaden their scope to be more flexible in making responsible decisions, which is what a Liberal Arts education is set to offer. The strength of such a curriculum will be an asset for the students not merely in their professional careers but the very source of power to lead a full life. The University of the Sacred Heart bases its educational principles on the spirit of Madeleine Sophie Barat, who founded the first Sacred Heart School in France. This energizing power (called the "spirit of the Sacred Heart") is common to all Sacred Heart Schools worldwide. Our policy is for the new students to choose which undergraduate department they wish to enter in the second semester of their first year to realize our founding educational principles. The students are given time to carefully select which major they would genuinely like to pursue from the nine programs: English Language and Literature, Japanese Language and Literature, Philosophy, History, Human Relations, International Studies, Psychology, Education, and Primary Education, offered in the Faculty of Liberal Arts. Ever since the tragic events following the March 11, 2011 earthquake, humanity has had to confront some basic questions. It is as if we are being told to reexamine those assumed values and systems that we had much depended upon. We hope that our currently enrolled students and those who will newly join the student community at such challenging times will seek and find their answers in their course of study at our University. The educational principles of the University of the Sacred Heart are based on the vision held by Madeleine Sophie Barat. She founded the Society of the Sacred Heart more than 200 years ago. We can perhaps compare the age of confusion following the French Revolution that she overcame to our current situation in Japan and worldwide. Our tradition has been to dedicate our services using our heads and hearts so that we are equipped with a keen awareness of others' needs for the betterment of society, and this traditional energy is what we call the Sacred Heart Spirit. In the years that you spend at the University of the Sacred Heart, we hope that as you pursue your studies, you will also equip yourself with this Sacred Heart Spirit, for it will bring happiness to you and those around you. For those considering enrolling, we sincerely welcome you to visit our Open Campus. We strongly encourage you to interact with our current students and to experience campus life at the University of the Sacred Heart for yourself. The University aims to develop in its students through their quest for higher learning and specialization: The creativity that opens up a new vision. The power of critical thinking. The ability to become fully educated, well-rounded human beings. View full university

A journey that ignites a sense of belonging as they become part of the Sacred Heart community. In 1897, the Marist Brothers were invited by Archbishop O’Reilly to open a school for boys in Port Adelaide. The Brothers opened two schools, Sacred Heart High School and Catholic Boys’ Primary school. The first Principal was Brother Stephen Dubourg. By 1905, the Marist Brothers had begun to take in boarding students. During the first ten years, Sacred Heart High School changed its location twice to provide room for increasing enrolling students. In 1914, Sacred Heart High School moved to the present location at Somerton Park. It was renamed Sacred Heart College and provided education for day students and boarders from Year 4 to Leaving Honours. The early years saw Paringa Hall used for all aspects of school life, including classrooms, dormitories, dining rooms, and home to the Brothers. As the enrolment increased, a building program was commenced that eventually built up the teaching area around the central covered quadrangle. The need for boarding places increased as well. In 1960, the Marian Wing was opened, allowing the boarders to have their purpose-built space. Later a senior boys’ boarding house was opened, followed in 1998 by a girls’ boarding house. St Joseph’s College was established in 1967 at Mitchell Park and catered for the younger boys (Years 5-10) of the local parishes. In 1977, a significant change to the College and Catholic Education across the region. Sacred Heart College became part of the South West Region of catholic schools and moved to become a coeducational Senior College catering for Years 10-12 at Somerton Park. Sacred Heart College Middle School (Boys Year 6-9) was also established at the former St Joseph’s College site. In 2015, Sacred Heart College Senior amalgamated with Sacred Heart Middle School at Mitchell Park under the leadership of Principal, Mr. Steve Byrne. In 1956, the Good Samaritan Sisters were invited by Archbishop Beovich to establish a secondary Parish School and convent in the South West of Adelaide. The first Principal was Sister Dominica McEwen. In 1977, a significant change to the South West region was implemented, and it was decided that Marymount College would be a part of a three-tier system of catholic education. By 1979, Marymount College was officially operating as a Middle School for girls (Years 6 – 9). In the year 2000, after 44 years of education at Seacombe Gardens, Marymount College transitioned to Hove. In 2018, Marymount College amalgamated with Sacred Heart College. In 2019 after 62 years of girls’ education, Marymount Campus staff and students relocated to Champagnat Campus at Mitchell Park, operating as a coeducational school for girls & boys in Years 7 – 9. Today, Sacred Heart College is a Catholic Co-Educational School for Years 7 – 12 across two campuses in the Marist Tradition. We promote a love of learning and foster Courageous Hearts.

  15. Stone Ridge is a Catholic, independent, college preparatory school in the Network of Sacred Heart schools for girls, Grades 1-12, with a co-educational early childhood program, Little Hearts, which serves children three-month olds through Kindergarten age. Stone Ridge School of the Sacred Heart inspires young women to lead and serve through lives of purpose that integrate faith, intellect, community, social action, and personal growth in an atmosphere of wise freedom. As a Catholic school in the Archdiocese of Washington, students at Stone Ridge study the Catholic Church's teachings at every grade level, participate in sacramental and devotional life, and embrace the social responsibilities shared by all Christians.

The curriculum and extracurricular activities recognize every individual's unique gifts, talents, and viewpoints, providing excellent programs in academics, arts, athletics, and service leadership. Stone Ridge provides a distinct educational experience from Preschool through Grade 12. In addition to our vibrant Bethesda campus, the Network of Sacred Heart Schools connects Stone Ridge students with peers in 22 schools in the United States and 44 countries worldwide.

More importantly, the friendships our students make at Stone Ridge and with our sister schools around the world are ones that our students cherish for life. Choosing the right school, not only for the student but also for the family, is one of the most important decisions a family can make. Every child is unique, and finding the right educational match is the key to her success. For many girls, a single-sex school is a perfect environment for academic growth and fostering development in extracurricular talents, leadership, and self-confidence. Boys and girls learn differently. Teachers at girls' schools can capitalize on the girls' learning styles, giving them a vital skillset to build upon. Students tend to display their intelligence and curiosity in an all-girls classroom setting without the worry of social stigma. This confidence, mainly gained at a young age, carries into the students' more advanced studies.

  18. Established on its present site in 1898, the Atherton campus of Sacred Heart for years was under the leadership of the Religious of the Sacred Heart of Jesus (RSCJ). As the number of active RSCJ has decreased over time, the number of lay faculty, staff, and administrators grew. Today, Sacred Heart Schools, Atherton, is predominantly employed with laypeople. However, RSCJ presence and charism remain an SHS cornerstone—through the universal Goals and Criteria which guide all Schools of the Sacred Heart worldwide, the ongoing relationship with the RSCJ Provincial for U.S.- Canda, and Network of Sacred Heart Schools, RSCJ serving in campus ministry and formation to the mission, and the more than 50 Sisters residing at Oakwood Retirement Center, located on campus. Sacred Heart Schools, Atherton is an independent, Catholic school as interpreted and lived by the Society of the Sacred Heart (RSCJ). Our mission is to cultivate our students a personal and active faith in God and lay the foundation for a meaningful life. Today, SHS is a vibrant, thriving, and dynamic institution committed to educational excellence and Christ's teachings as expressed in forgiveness, compassion, respect, and generosity. From preschool through high school, our world-class, diverse faculty and staff guide students of all faiths to become thoughtful and caring young adults through a rigorous curriculum and mission-driven programs, the development of active leadership skills, and emphasis on personal integrity. These are the hallmarks of the SHS experience and the core of our Sacred Heart spirit. As one of 24 institutions comprising the Network of Sacred Heart Schools, U.S.-Canada Province, and among the nearly 150 Sacred Heart schools in 41 countries worldwide, SHS upholds and practices the values and principles articulated in our educational philosophy, the Goals, and Criteria of Sacred Heart Education. This unique document emerged from a "plan of studies" that guided the educational enterprise developed by our founder and entrusted to the Society of Sacred Heart more than 200 years ago. First published in 1975, the Goals and Criteria of Sacred Heart Education is a dynamic philosophy that is evaluated and periodically updated by the Network of Sacred Heart Schools. For more than a century, Sacred Heart Schools, Atherton has served the educational needs of local families to nurture and develop the whole child- mind, body, and spirit, and lay the foundation for a meaningful life. As a P-12 school, Sacred Heart ensures students thrive as they grow in both scholarship and values and begin to take their place in the world. Across the Sacred Heart learning journey, scholarship, and values matter, and SHS provides unparalleled opportunities for students in every aspect of the learning experience. Under a curriculum guided by our mission and educational philosophy, students learn to think critically and act compassionately, ready to meet the challenges they will face in the future. Integrated, interdisciplinary, and framed through Christian values, the SHS curriculum offers consistent quality of experience and academic practices at every level. SHS is committed to providing a supportive academic environment that enables all students to achieve maximum scholastic potential. As each student develops and learns at an individual pace, we recognize that many may benefit from supplemental coaching in order to set and achieve personal academic goals, more closely review classroom material and prepare for exams, devise or improve study skills and strategies, manage time more effectively, and determine the need for any accommodation in the classroom. Partnering with students, teachers, and family members, the learning support staff at both the LMS and SHP take a collaborative approach, intending to promote student self-esteem and a positive attitude toward learning and the learning process. Working in a one-to-one setting with specialists, students increasingly gain self-awareness, self-motivation, and become self-advocates for their education.
  19. Sacred Heart is an apostolic school run by the Legion of Christ. The term "apostolic school" refers to a high-school seminary where young men can discern their vocation to the priesthood in a missionary order or congregation. At the Heart of Legionary spirituality are Christ-centeredness, love for Blessed Virgin Mary, and firm adhesion to the Church and the Pope. Sacred Heart Apostolic School is for young men who wish to discern the vocation to the priesthood in the Legion of Christ. The Sacred Heart Apostolic School tradition dates back to the Legion of Christ's foundation in 1941 with an apostolic school in Mexico City. Since then, 20 such apostolic schools have sprung up worldwide, including others in the United States, Canada, Italy, Germany, Spain, France, Mexico, Brazil, Columbia, Venezuela, and Argentina, among others. Sacred Heart Apostolic School in Rolling Prairie, Indiana, opened its doors in the fall of 2005 at what once was the prestigious Le Mans Academy. In 2015 it became the only apostolic school in the United States when it combined resources with the Immaculate Conception Apostolic School (ICAS), initially located in New Hampshire. Since opening its doors, hundreds of students have passed through Sacred Heart Apostolic School. Fifty percent of graduates have continued to the Legion of Christ's novitiate in Cheshire, Connecticut, or the diocesan seminary. The other graduates continued their education at Loyola University, Ave Maria University, Benedictine College, Christendom College, and Holy Cross College, with a firm foundation in their faith and mission as lay apostles Christ. Sacred Heart Apostolic School's mission is to provide integral formation (spiritual, human, academic, and apostolic) for junior high and high school boys, considering a call to the priesthood in the Legion of Christ. We provide personal accompaniment in a healthy and supportive environment that enables them to mature, discern, and respond to their potential call to a religious vocation. Junior High School at Sacred Heart Apostolic School encompasses the 8th Grade. There are nine classes and directed study periods daily, five days a week. Choir and band practice during two music periods on the weekends. There are also daily sessions of sports, work detail, and chapel. The following are the classes and descriptions for 8th Grade.

The demands placed on women today highlight the need to develop in our girls a sense of their power and ability. Single-sex education has proven time and again to be fundamental in developing a young woman's sense of self and purpose. Graduates of girls' schools account for a significant percentage of women in leadership positions in industry, academia, public life, and throughout all professions. The curriculum offers a full range of courses through the Advanced Placement level in the arts, humanities, modern and classical languages, mathematics, religion and sciences, and vital programs in athletics and wellness, and extracurricular activities. Newton Country Day students are expected to act with integrity, learn to think critically, communicate, deepen their intellectual curiosity and creativity, and develop and apply scientific and technological knowledge and skill. Through the Religious Studies curriculum, the encouragement of personal prayer and public worship, and a strong emphasis on ethics and community service, Newton Country Day fosters its student's reflection, a commitment to social action, and a critical sensibility toward materialism. Nurturing the student's relationship with God and an understanding of the Catholic Church's evolving tradition, the program also educates to a knowledge and appreciation of other expressions of religious belief. In a society characterized by diversity, Newton Country Day commits itself to inspire each student to build and enrich relationships.

The entire educational program has as its end the formation of balanced and self-assured women who possess the courage and confidence to respond generously, competently, and responsibly to the demands of their lives and the world's needs. Independent yet united in spirit and purpose, the international community of the Sacred Heart community believes in educating the whole child and preparing her to live fully and wisely. At the core of the Sacred Heart education are the Five Goals, principles that express the intentions and hopes of our 200-year tradition. Newton Country Day School's culture and identity are bound inextricably to the vision outlined in the Goals of Sacred Heart Schools. They awaken and spur our faith, intellect, social action, community building, and personal growth. Whether planning a community service project, tackling an academic challenge, or supporting one another, Newton students and faculty frame their choices and actions under the Five Goals. When faced with challenges, they give us the language and focus on understanding and prevailing. During their years at Newton Country Day School, students measure their actions in the light of the Five Goals until doing so becomes a habit of being. By the time our students graduate, these principles have become an internal well of wisdom and strength from which they draw throughout their lives.
  21. Sacred Heart University, contemporary in spirit and thinking, is rooted in the liberal arts and Catholic intellectual traditions. Our mission is to educate the whole person while preparing students to lead and serve in the world today. The Catholic intellectual tradition, a rigorous and interdisciplinary search for truth and wisdom, forms the cornerstone of all University life and welcomes people from all faiths and cultures. The liberal arts form the foundation of the University's academic and professional programs. A liberal arts education provides students with the intellectual abilities and practical skills essential for every professional and career path. It is the basis for forming educated citizens in an inclusive, globally-connected society. As a Catholic university, inspired by the Gospel of love and mercy, Sacred Heart is particularly committed to social justice. It encourages its students, faculty, and staff to respect every person's dignity, promote the common good, and serve others, especially the poor and suffering. The true worth of your Sacred Heart experience will not be measured by facts we teach you or the skills you acquire while you are here. It will not be something that we give you. At Sacred Heart University in Fairfield, CT, we believe that inquiry, pursuing knowledge, and intelligent reflection – both inside and outside the classroom – create more significant opportunities and choices. We challenge you to be fearless in your curiosity and courageous in your service to others. We are passionate about the role we play in helping you reveal your true potential. The discovery of your talents, abilities, strengths, character, and dreams is the most valuable outcome we strive for as educators and mentors. Sacred Heart University was founded in 1963 by the Most Reverend Walter W. Curtis, second bishop of the Diocese of Bridgeport, to provide an institution of higher education that would serve the diocese people and region, regardless of sex, race, creed, or religion. In October 1962, Bishop Curtis announced both the plan to open a college the following September and its name, "Sacred Heart." The choice of the name had a dual origin: it was the name of the bishop's first pastorate in Bloomfield, N.J., and was a pledge from the bishop attesting to the value of such an institution. Signs of the University's growth and vibrancy are evident. Enrollment has risen from the original class of fewer than 200 undergraduate students to approximately 8,500 full-time and part-time undergraduate and graduate students. Over the years, Sacred Heart has grown to become the second-largest Catholic University in New England and, according to the Chronicle of Higher Education, one of the fastest-growing Catholic Universities in the country. The University has enhanced the undergraduate student experience in many unique ways. In 1990, if accepted, for the first time, students who wanted the residential experience. It now has 11 residential areas, with approximately 92 percent of first-year students and 57 percent of all undergraduates residing in University housing. New degree programs and majors in relevant disciplines are regularly added to our curriculum, and the University now offers more than 80 undergraduate, graduate, doctoral and certificate programs on its main campus in Fairfield, Conn., and satellites in Stamford, Luxembourg, and Ireland. The University consists of six colleges and two schools: College of Arts & Sciences, School of Communication, Media & the Arts School of Computer Science and Engineering, the AACSB-accredited Jack Welch College of Business, College of Health Professions, College of Nursing, Isabelle Farrington College of Education and St. Vincent's College. Sacred Heart was recently ranked Top 4 most innovative University as well as one of the best universities in the North, according to U.S. News & World Report's guidebook, Best Colleges 2018. This is partly due to the University's remarkable expansion, innovation, and growth over the last decade.

  24. Sacred Heart Catholic School is a vibrant and dynamic school with high expectations and great ambitions for every one of our pupils. We believe that discipline, structure, and common purpose are solid foundations for success in life and education, and we understand the value of professionalism and innovation in everything we do. We are a Catholic school with very strong moral values and a traditional approach to behavior and discipline our pupils to understand their rights and responsibilities, respect rules and boundaries, and learn to live in honesty and trust. Sacred Heart School consistently achieves outstanding academic results, way above local and national averages in every subject area. For example, in 2014, we became the first state school in Southwark to reach the landmark figure of 90% A*-C including English and Maths. The new measure for Progress 8, a more comprehensive measure of school success, places us firmly as one of the very top-performing schools in the country. Our relatively new Sixth Form has quickly followed suit and we have already sent many students to top universities, including Oxford, Cambridge, and many other members of the Russell Group. We fully expect to maintain the same high standards of academic success at A-Level in the coming years that we have reached GCSE. We also have an exceptional record of helping our pupils to achieve more than they think is possible. Sacred Heart has consistently been in the top 2% of the country for adding value to pupils’ education at both Key Stage 3 and 4. As well as outstanding academic outcomes Sacred Heart prides itself on educating the whole child. Academic results will only go so far and we insist on a comprehensive program of moral education, teaching good manners, respect, and a determination to show our pupils that Gospel values are to be lived by, especially when it comes to looking after and caring for those less fortunate. Our Vision: "As a school dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, we work to bring one another to an awareness of the fullness and meaning of life, rooted in the love of Jesus". Mission Statement: "Our school strives to be a Catholic community in which Christian principles of care and respect are valued, with emphasis on the development of the individual through academic achievement and personal development". To achieve our vision we will: Recognize and treasure the unique gifts of each pupil and do all that we can to allow these to develop and flourish. Provide the highest possible quality of education where each child is challenged to pursue the highest standards in spiritual, moral, cultural, intellectual, and physical development in an environment of academic endeavor and personal discipline. Create a welcoming community of faith that witnesses to the teachings of the gospel and fosters strong bonds of love within the community we serve. Form our pupils in the attitudes of the heart of Jesus expressed in respect, compassion, forgiveness, and generosity. Learning at Sacred Heart is interactive, engaging, and relevant to the real world. Our pupils have a strong grounding in traditional core academic subjects (English, Maths, Science, and RE) from Year 7 onwards, providing a positive platform for achievement in other areas. They learn how to prepare, organize and motivate themselves for work each day, and we support them at every stage of their school career. We want them to be excited by their learning, to recognize its importance, and to be proud of their achievements in every discipline. Sacred Heart has long bathed in the light of outstanding GCSE results and, since the establishment of our Sixth Form, we now have excellent A-Level grades to celebrate too. Our traditional approach and very strong moral values have been carried forward into our Sixth Form as we prepare our young adults for places at the country’s top universities, including offers already in our first few years of operation from Oxford, Cambridge, and many other Russell Group universities. Our curriculum is wide-ranging and proactive, designed to meet the needs of everyone’s abilities, interests, and aspirations for the future. Our pupils learn to think for themselves and we encourage them to become independent learners who ask good questions, think creatively, and solve problems with confidence. By the time our pupils leave school, we want them to be self-disciplined and focused young people who are determined to succeed in whatever career they choose to pursue. Here at Sacred Heart, we believe that learning experiences do not just take place in the classroom, or even in school, but in our local community and further afield too. We appreciate that pupils learn and develop into well-rounded individuals when they are performing on stage or in music concerts, when they are camping in the countryside, or when they are visiting other countries and experiencing other cultures. We celebrate our Catholic traditions as a community and have a special relationship with the Parishes of Sacred Heart and English Martyrs. We encourage our pupils to ‘live their faith’ and work together to raise thousands of pounds for charity. This work allows our pupils to reach out and support not only their local community but also the needy elsewhere in the world. Sacred Heart Catholic School is a united and happy community with a clear sense of purpose and direction. We promote a culture of respect for self and others and we have a very strict, traditional, and rigorous approach to discipline. Our pupils receive consistent messages about good behavior, appearance, manners, and trust. They learn to take responsibility for themselves and to understand their duties as good citizens. We want them to set high standards in their communities and to learn how to lead others with dignity and determination. Sacred Heart Catholic School has received national recognition for the value it adds to enable students' high achievement at GCSE. The school qualified for three SSAT Educational Outcomes Awards by being in the top 10% of non-selective schools for high attainment the top 10% nationally for progress made by pupils between their key stage 2 results at primary school and their GCSE results at age 16 and special recognition for their success in enabling students to fulfill their potential.
  25. The University of the Sacred Heart, Tokyo, has maintained its commitment towards Liberal Arts education since it was founded six decades ago. The current changes in society, along with the surge of unpredictable events in which people are required to survive the times by supporting one another, calls for an urgent need to educate the people to broaden their scope to be more flexible in making responsible decisions, which is what a Liberal Arts education is set to offer. The strength of such a curriculum will be an asset for the students not merely in their professional careers but the very source of power to lead a full life. The University of the Sacred Heart bases its educational principles on the spirit of Madeleine Sophie Barat, who founded the first Sacred Heart School in France. This energizing power (called the "spirit of the Sacred Heart") is common to all Sacred Heart Schools worldwide. Our policy is for the new students to choose which undergraduate department they wish to enter in the second semester of their first year to realize our founding educational principles. The students are given time to carefully select which major they would genuinely like to pursue from the nine programs: English Language and Literature, Japanese Language and Literature, Philosophy, History, Human Relations, International Studies, Psychology, Education, and Primary Education, offered in the Faculty of Liberal Arts. Ever since the tragic events following the March 11, 2011 earthquake, humanity has had to confront some basic questions. It is as if we are being told to reexamine those assumed values and systems that we had much depended upon. We hope that our currently enrolled students and those who will newly join the student community at such challenging times will seek and find their answers in their course of study at our University. The educational principles of the University of the Sacred Heart are based on the vision held by Madeleine Sophie Barat. She founded the Society of the Sacred Heart more than 200 years ago. We can perhaps compare the age of confusion following the French Revolution that she overcame to our current situation in Japan and worldwide. Our tradition has been to dedicate our services using our heads and hearts so that we are equipped with a keen awareness of others' needs for the betterment of society, and this traditional energy is what we call the Sacred Heart Spirit. In the years that you spend at the University of the Sacred Heart, we hope that as you pursue your studies, you will also equip yourself with this Sacred Heart Spirit, for it will bring happiness to you and those around you. For those considering enrolling, we sincerely welcome you to visit our Open Campus. We strongly encourage you to interact with our current students and to experience campus life at the University of the Sacred Heart for yourself. The University aims to develop in its students through their quest for higher learning and specialization: The creativity that opens up a new vision. The power of critical thinking. The ability to become fully educated, well-rounded human beings.
