Sacred Heart Academy is a continuously evolving college preparatory school. In my time there, I've seen lots of changes and nearly all of them were for the better. They were swift in setting their guidelines and precautions regarding how they would navigate continuing education amidst a pandemic. The school overall offers a diverse set of opportunities. There isn't a four-year regimen for honors or regular classes, so students who may have gone through a difficult time during middle school, freshmen year, or any of the following years in any subject have the opportunity to join honors courses later on after increasing their average in a subject. Also, class sizes are relatively small, there won't be more than thirty girls in one classroom so students can form close relationships with their peers and faculty. There's a wide range of extracurriculars on campus. sports, theatre, academic clubs, etc; students are encouraged to join or even start clubs; there is something for everyone here.
Do NOT send your child to Sacred Heart Academy. It is equivalent to a prison for high schoolers, I cannot BELIEVE the treatment my daughter has gotten over the past few years and that is why I'm warning every parent out there to NOT send their child to this school if they want them to be depressed, mistreated, sexually harassed. No wonder each class every year is getting smaller and smaller. If I could put 0 stars I would.
Sacred Heart Academy is an amazing all-girls school that provides young women with several opportunities to thrive.
