Sacred Heart Elementary School ministry is distinguished by an ongoing commitment to quality and deep respect for the dignity and value of all persons, our students, their parents and guardians, and all others we are called to serve.
The faculty and staff of Sacred Heart School are dedicated to continuing the educational mission of the Church through our Christ-like concern for our students, as well as providing for their spiritual, emotional, academic and physical formation.
Faithful to the tradition of our school's founders, The Sisters of Charity of Saint Elizabeth, and from our location in the Vailsburg section of the city of Newark, we provide for the emerging and ever changing educational needs of a diverse and dynamic population, with a variety of programs and services.
