Sacred Heart Academy is determined to pursue the true, the good, and the beautiful. The classical curriculum is excellent in teaching students about the advancements made by Western Civilization and how it impacts our society today. Sacred Heart has a rich and engaging culture that welcomes all who have a love of learning.

This school does some things better than anyone else, for instance the humanities (history and literature), latin, and theology. The kids read REAL books (not textbooks) and teachers help them learn to think. Unfortunately the science program is terrible. There is too much philosophy in the science classes and too little science. Students copy work from the blackboard and there are almost no labs. It is bad.

I liked the challenging curriculum and the small, intimate community. The school could be improved with more extracurricular activities.
