School Notes
Founded in 1865 by the Religious of the Sacred Heart of Jesus,
Sacred Heart has a strong tradition of excellence in education as
envisioned by St. Madeleine Sophie Barat.
Sacred Heart Academy, known as SHA, is part of a national
network of 24 independent schools located in the US and Canada
which share a common heritage and vision.
There are more than 140 Sacred Heart schools around the world
providing an international campus for our students at Bryn Mawr
through exchange programs, summer workshops, service opportunities
and use of the Sofie Network.
For more than 150 years in Philadelphia, 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, athletic, aesthetic, spiritual, social, and emotional
needs of each girl with a curriculum that is well-grounded in basic
and specialized courses.
Sacred Heart is a Catholic school with a tradition of
ecumenism, welcoming the enrichment that students and faculty of
all faiths offer. By its religious education program, the school
seeks to foster open-mindedness and reverence for
differences.
