OUR CAMPUS SETTING

The Academy is located on 255 acres in historic Grand Coteau, Louisiana. The site of a Vatican recognized miracle in 1866, the campus is known for its tranquil beauty and deep spiritual roots.

It is home to a girls day school, boarding school, and exemplary equestrian program.

THE WORLD IS HERS. Welcome to the Academy of the Sacred Heart in Grand Coteau, LA. For over 200 years, we have been opening hearts and minds of young women so that they can be leaders and difference makers in the world.

We empower girls to find their voices and their purpose, and we've been doing it since 1821.

HERE, SHE CAN TRY. From her first steps on our 255-acre campus, she will feel the difference. Teachers work together to challenge and support her in her studies, friendships, and goals. Classes inspire her to think critically. Spaces empower her to dream, discover, and do.

Friends lift her up and make her laugh.

She will trust herself more each day. She will see mistakes as opportunities to grow. She will raise her hand. She will try something new and discover passions. She will build with her hands, get out on the field, onto the stage, and into the science lab. She will reveal her unique strengths.

We will be there every step of the way with the tools she needs to thrive. Here, every family gets tailored one-on-one support. Every parent is a part of the team. Our Sacred Heart tradition nourishes our community and moves us to action. We believe a girl-centered education rooted in growth sets the foundation for a life of learning.

Here, she will be amazed at all that she can do.

At the Academy, your daughter becomes an integral thread in our woven history of 200 years of Sacred Heart education. She stands on the shoulders of generations of Sacred Heart alumnae who have gone before her, and we all support and cherish her as she grows into a woman of strength and purpose.

YVONNE SANDOZ ADLER, PH.D., Head of School

HERE, SHE CAN LEAD. Our dedicated team of faculty and staff, as well as our families, believe that there is a leader inside of every girl, and we are dedicated to helping each student discover her unique leadership style and strengths.

Our philosophy is engineered to empower girls through their Sacred Heart journey and beyond through fostering programs that empower with autonomy and independence. Our girls have the opportunity to travel the world, growing in global understanding and appreciation, and finding themselves in the process.

Throughout our campus, our message is the same: Cultivate curiosity, have courage to try new things, and seek ways to bring knowledge, peace, and love, all in the formation of the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

We believe that if she leads from these principles, she will change the world. We will help her to find her strengths so that she can draw them out and watch them shine.

THE GIRLS' SCHOOL ADVANTAGE 93% of girls' school grads say that they were offered greater leadership opportunities than peers at coed schools and 80% have held leadership positions since graduating from high school."

NATIONAL COALITION OF GIRLS' SCHOOLS (NCGS)

Bathed in the charism of the five Goals and Criteria of the Sacred Heart, our Mission and philosophy not only encompass a college preparatory education, but just as importantly, the formation of the whole child to be a wellrounded, purposeful citizen of the world."
