SACRED HEART GREENWICH
where young women become thoughtful global leaders
SHGREENWICH.ORG
THE SACRED HEART JOURNEY “ T he idea of doing God’s work and following his plan—not taking “no” for an answer—inspires our work as we support and challenge our girls to be leaders, doers, and dreamers who imagine new ways to take on real world problems and work for the betterment of others.” — MARGARET FRAZIER Head of School
Outstanding academics. Active faith. An international network. Opportunities to shine in visual and performing arts. Competitive athletics. A global perspective. Exciting, hands-on internships, research and activities. Top-notch facilities. A caring community that encourages exploration—and balance. Spiritual, intellectual, creative, social, and moral development. As Greenwich’s only faith-based school for girls, Sacred Heart offers all that and more. Our educational philosophy emanates from a profound spiritual and educational heritage, and from our commitment to meet the challenges of a changing world with innovative classroom strategies and
new technologies. But the true hallmark of a Sacred Heart education is that our students are joyfully immersed in a learning environment with no academic ceiling. Whether a child arrives at Sacred Heart in Lower, Middle or Upper School, we inspire each girl to be—and do—her very best.
faith + integrity
OUR INCLUSIVE GLOBAL COMMUNITY
06 | SHGREENWICH.ORG
A Sacred Heart education is firmly grounded in the belief that faith is at the heart of who we are. Our inclusive community welcomes students of diverse faiths and backgrounds. We promote the development of a strong and active faith in God by providing our girls with religious education and experiences that cultivate spiritual growth and a moral core of integrity, strength, and compassion. Our heritage is Catholic, but our environment is inclusive. We encourage each student to explore, express, and deepen her personal faith through experiences woven into our curriculum, liturgical life, our social justice and service program, our exchange and Global Scholars programs, and a wealth of extracurricular activities.

A LIFELONG COMMUNITY
Each girl who comes to Sacred Heart’s hilltop is unique and brimming with potential. By providing an intentional balance between learning and living, Sacred Heart cultivates a vibrant community that challenges and inspires academic, artistic, athletic and personal growth. Research clearly points to the effectiveness of all-girls education for young women. Graduates of girls’ schools account for a significant percentage of women in leadership positions in industry, academia, public life, and other professions. At Sacred Heart, each student has the freedom to be uniquely herself, finding myriad opportunities to discover and use her voice within a joyful, supportive community. You’re not just a Sacred Heart girl during your time on King Street. You remain a Sacred Heart girl for life.
“ W hat is unique about Sacred Heart is that I could turn to any classmate, any one of my sisters, to help me overcome an obstacle or achieve a goal.” —LUDNIE RENE ’19 Clemson University

SOCIAL JUSTICE + SERVICE
12 | SHGREENWICH.ORG
Lower School students learn to think about how each of our actions impact ourselves, each other and our world. Middle School students discuss ideas of vocation and covenant: what am I called to do and what do I promise to do. And Upper School students use philosophical texts to peel away layers of societal mandates and preconceived notions to arrive at the truth. This curricular foundation allows students to respond to the call of service in meaningful ways. With a more complete understanding of the people of the world and the opportunities available to combat issues in inequality and injustice, Sacred Heart girls impart change. Curriculum, commitment, and advocacy breed the morals, ethics, and understanding to propel students to be lifelong advocates for the poor, powerless, and marginalized.
