Philosophy and Mission Statement

Philosophy
Sacred Heart Academy educates in the message of Jesus Christ in the Catholic tradition and nurtures strong academics through the Core Knowledge Curriculum. Faculty, parents, and students create a Christian community where students worship God and learn to serve. The role of the school community is to guide academic instruction; and support, enhance, and complement the parents as primary educators to be ministers of Christ's message.

Mission Statement
" ...the Catholic school has had a clear identity, not only as presence of the Church in society, but also as a genuine and proper instrument of the Church. It is a place of evangelization, of authentic apostolate and of pastoral action-not through complementary or parallel or extra-curricular activity, but of its very nature: the work of educating the Christian person. " (The Religioius Dimension of Education in a Catholic School, Section 33, Vatican Congregation on Education).

Students at Sacred Heart Academy, a premier Catholic/Core Knowledge school, learn to live the message of Jesus Christ in the Catholic tradition, and to acquire sound scholastic abilities. Sacred Heart Academy does this by creating an atmosphere of empathy, faith, respect, and community team work. This is accomplished by developing and enhancing a diversity of culture, experience, people, learning techniques, and learning styles.
