Sacred Heart School reflects Catholic, Christian values and attitudes. We work in partnership with parents to form our children in the Gospel and Catholic Tradition.
We integrate faith formation and teachings of our Catholic faith into every facet of our program.
The children develop a love for Jesus and try to “see” Him in each other.
Kindergarten is an important time for establishing the essential foundations for successful learning.
Sacred Heart Kindergarten is structured in such a way as to respect the learning processes of each student and help the children reach their full potential intellectually, spiritually, socially, emotionally, and physically.
Children learn through hands-on experiences and the use of manipulative materials.
The instructional program is designed to encourage participation in individual as well as cooperative group learning activities.
Here at Sacred Heart School your children will experience a loving, challenging, Christ-like environment for our children, where they can reach their full potential.
Through continued professional development of our faculty, we keep up with the latest research in teaching, learning, and best practices in the field of education.
We weave our Christian values into every aspect of our curriculum and emphasize respect and responsibility, including the responsibility each student has to contribute to the learning environment.
