The Academy of the Sacred Heart is part of the network of 22 Sacred Heart schools in the United States, and of a worldwide community of Sacred Heart schools in 41 countries around the world. Linked philosophically and technologically, the network provides educational resources and collaborative opportunities for students and faculty. As a community, we believe the Goals and Criteria of a Sacred Heart education enable students to live lives of faith, intellectual excellence, responsibility to self and community and personal integrity. The Goals and Criteria provide the educational framework, national standards and inspiration for all that happens at the Academy.
