School Notes
Josephinum is a college-preparatory high school and a proud
member of the international Network of Sacred Heart Schools. Our
mission is to empower young women to become confident, faith-filled
leaders. We offer a world-class curriculum designed to prepare
students to be successful at college and in life.
As a Sacred Heart School, Josephinum measures its success one
student at a time. We seek to provide an education that meets the
needs of the whole child. Our small class sizes and exceptional
faculty focus on understanding the unique educational needs of each
student, helping her to discover her unique gifts and fostering a
passion for excellence in education, service, and faith.
Having educated more than 5,000 young women in over 120
graduating classes, Josephinum Academy is more than just a school;
it is a community that stretches back in time, with Sacred Heart
Network sister schools all across the globe.
