Our school is a Catholic high school that was founded by Dr. Yao in 1969. In the beginning, our school was registered as Sacred Heart Industrial and Commercial Vocational Senior High School. Dr. Yao was the first principal. By 1971, the construction of the school buildings and school factories had been completed. The equipment for classrooms had also been purchased and teachers had been recruited. In 1971, our school had enrolled a total of 110 students for the three following courses: Synthetic Business, Electrical Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering. Teachers have three characteristics: love, patience, and passion, and educate the youth, irrespective of background. Students also have three characteristics: concentration, peaceful mind and purity, and willingness to open up their minds for wisdom and follow the sage precursors. In 1972, our school was permitted to set up a night school. Since the establishment of the school, Dr. Yao went abroad many times to visit many different countries, such as the USA, Canada, West Germany, and Italy to raise funds to help develop the school. However, the job of raising funds became more and more difficult. Under such tough circumstances, we still tried hard and managed to complete Sacred Heart Building and the school gym to make our campus more efficient. Later, to follow the government’s policy of developing more Complete Schools and Comprehensive High Schools for Taiwanese students, we then included general senior high courses in 1990 and changed the school’s name to Sacred Heart High School. Therefore, our school could continue to provide students in Keelung with a superior education environment. Our founder, Dr. Yao retired in 1990 due to bad health. Our School Vision diagram is created from a skeleton of the School Logo the cross stands for the school’s belonging to the Catholic system. Love gives life to the spirit of the cross. When the cross is embraced by a red heart of love, this made a cast on its feature, the spirit of love, from the background vividly. Our school motto of love God, love country, loving parents, and love people also fulfills this spirit of the cross ─ meaning and mission of Love. Our School Vision diagram shows a way to pass on the Spirit of Love by adopting Education Love as a core, with the woven fabric of Virtues as a foundation, with anchoring four cornerstones of development - Multi-intelligences, International Vision, Pragmatic Practice to bring out our school Vision of establishing every Sacred Heart child's accomplishment. After his retirement, Mr. Shih Yi-Tsai, the former director of the Academic Affairs Office, was assigned to be the principal. Inspired by the sacrifice and selflessness of Dr. Yao, the staff of the whole school devoted every effort to improve the teaching quality and give the students the best education. Our school has made great progress in recent years. In 1995, we included junior high courses. Approved by the Ministry of Education, our school has become a Complete School. After the retirement of Principal Shih Yi-Tsai, Mr. Chih Yi-Chuan was appointed by the school board as the third principal in 2003. In 2009, the school board assigned the director of the Academic Office, Ms. Lu He-Fong, to be the fourth principal. In 2013, Ms. Yang Ru-Jing took over the responsibility and became the fifth principal. In the same year, our school’s name was changed to Fu Jen Sacred Heart High School. It was a new milestone for our school and Principal Yang will continue leading all the staff to overcome the new challenges in the future. Students’ Affairs Office is in charge of all aspects of the students’ school life including meals, uniforms, dormitories, school buses, and extracurricular activities. The office is also responsible for guiding students. The main job of Students’ Affairs is to focus on three dimensions-learning, volunteering, life caring, and moral education. These four important factors have helped make the campus a friendly, safe, and pleasant environment. We hope to see our students get well-educated and gain knowledge in this sound and the comfortable campus that we will provide to them. All the staff in Students Affairs Office will sincerely help every student cope with any problem they encounter in their school life.

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.

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.

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.

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. We aspire to provide an exceptional high school experience in an inclusive community where every student is inspired to study, reflect, and take action in pursuit of a purposeful life.

Edgewood High School offers a college-preparatory program with both Advanced Placement and Honors courses and assistance for those struggling in particular subjects. 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.

Education to this mission is one of the essential charges Sacred Heart educators have today. The ultimate aim of Education to Mission is to live out the values of Sacred Heart education and integrate them into the fabric of personal and school life. Intentional Education empowers the adults to be bearers of this mission and assume their responsibility to foster its transmission to the next generation. The Education to Mission Committee of the Network of Sacred Heart Schools offers school leadership the elements of a plan to educate the school community adults on this mission. The assumptions and essential elements apply to all schools in the Network. Each school community will adopt models and strategies to shape its program in the context of its history and current institutional needs. Rooted in the love of Jesus Christ, our Sacred Heart mission evolves through the experience of those who live it in the present and share it with succeeding generations. Relying on the grace of the Spirit, each school becomes a community where the presence of God is experienced and made known.

Carrollton School of the Sacred Heart is the only Catholic, all-girls Montessori-3 through Grade 12 college preparatory school in the State of Florida. We are part of an international network of Sacred Heart schools whose mission is to educate women leaders in the Sacred Heart tradition that fosters growth in an active faith in God, intellectual values, and a commitment to social awareness in an environment of wise freedom and community. Today, the Network of Sacred Heart schools is an association of 22 Catholic schools across the United States and nearly 150 schools internationally. 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, the Goals and Criteria are the principles that express the intentions and hopes of our 200-year tradition. Carrollton's culture and identity are bound inextricably to the vision outlined in the Goals of Sacred Heart Schools. These values form the moral compass that influences the choices made within our community. Learning to draw upon these values during their school days, Carrollton graduates become women of conviction, courage, and confidence. Carrollton School of the Sacred Heart is committed to developing young women who will shape a world where all people respect and appreciate their common humanity and celebrate diversity. Because the diversity of all kinds is experienced in many different ways, students are encouraged to explore the rich cornucopia of cultures, interests, and perspectives around them at Carrollton. It is only through expanding one's awareness of others that one can truly understand oneself. Students gain this understanding through a spectrum of clubs and forums, an international and global experience afforded through both the curriculum and a school community, which values the concept of tolerance and inclusion. Carrollton School of the Sacred Heart is a community inextricably bound by the educational imperatives clearly outlined by our foundress over 200 years ago. We are a family of Christ's Heart in Miami. Sacred Heart education's distinctive spirit addresses the student's total development: spiritual, intellectual, emotional, physical. 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.

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.
