Sacred Heart School (preschool through grade 12) is a private, Catholic, co-educational learning community.
As a sponsored ministry of the Sisters of Divine Providence, we strive to inspire minds, define character and encourage responsible leadership through a curriculum that prepares students to pursue knowledge now and throughout their lives.
In the tradition of the Sisters of Divine Providence, we seek to develop a community of faith that encourages students to act with compassion, to work for a just society and to pursue opportunities to develop and share their God given talents in service to society.
Established in 1947, Sacred Heart School opened its Early Childhood Center (ECC) in 2007, for preschool, pre-kindergarten and kindergarten.
The ECC is one of three buildings on the school's 120-acre suburban campus.
Situated on the Kingston/Plymouth town lines in southeastern Massachusetts, the school is conveniently located near major highways.
Our early childhood education programs offer a developmentally appropriate, academic readiness curriculum in a safe and nurturing environment for young children.
