Letter from Anne Wachter, RSCJ
Welcome to Convent of the Sacred Heart Elementary School- an experience shaped by the five Goals that are the essence and articulation of all that we do for young women. The Goals and Criteria of Sacred Heart education call us to educate to faith, a rich intellectual life, social action, the building of community, and ongoing personal growth. Step with me into the world of our elementary girls, who, from kindergarten through eighth grade, have opportunities and experiences that no other school in the Bay Area can offer.
- Ours is a girls’ school and a family school where all of the benefits of a single-sex education are honored within a coed community. With our brother school, Stuart Hall for Boys, we have enriching activities in the arts, athletics, service, spiritual development, and social celebrations that are a unique advantage to the girls’ school experience - truly the best of both worlds!
- Our students can take advantage of an outstanding K-12 college preparatory program with our sister school, Convent of the Sacred Heart High School.
- Our students and faculty enjoy the finest facilities in the city: spacious new art and science labs, 350-seat theater; a computer lab, two laptop stations and many computers in terrific classrooms; a beautiful chapel; two gymnasiums, a running track, fitness room, two climbing walls, and secure outdoor play spaces; and the esthetic beauty of stately mansions.
- Our Sacred Heart students are members of the national Network of Sacred Heart Schools and share kinship with other Sacred Heart students all around the globe - correspondence and exchanges enrich all of our lives.
- Our school is both Catholic and independent, offering families of all faith traditions an atmosphere for spiritual development and dialogue that our world craves and a call to service that is fundamental to our existence.
We have an inspiring faculty engaged in dynamic professional growth programs who continue to set the bar for excellence, something Sacred Heart women have done for over 200 years. Come inside to experience this for yourself!
