Country Day School of the Sacred Heart is a Catholic, independent, college preparatory school for girls, grades Pre-K - 12. Founded in 1865 by the Religious of the Sacred Heart, the school has been lay-owned and governed since 1969. Sacred Heart has a strong tradition of excellence in education as envisioned by St. Madeleine Sophie Barat. Schools of the Sacred Heart commit themselves to educate to a personal and active faith in God; a deep respect for intellectual values; a social awareness which impels to action; the building of community as a Christian value; and personal growth in an atmosphere of wise freedom. For more than four generations, the goals of Sacred Heart's educational program have remained the same: to produce self-confident women, to provide a challenging intellectual education, to develop a love of God, and to create a desire to help others. A holistic approach to learning seeks to respond to the academic, aesthetic, athletic, spiritual, social and emotional needs of each girl with a curriculum well grounded in basic and special courses. Sacred Heart offers a traditional approach to education taught in contemporary ways.
