Our Mission
Our Mission Statement
As part of the Sacred Heart community, our school empowers families to build a more just and compassionate world by providing an innovative, bilingual education in an inclusive, Catholic environment.
Philosophy and Beliefs
Faith The parents are the first teachers in the faith and the family is the domestic Church. Sacramental preparation, celebration of the Eucharist, Catholic history and Bible studies, and the demonstration of values in daily interactions are the core of Catholic education.
Culture The education of a student is a joint effort among the parents, students, teachers, religious leaders, parish, and community. It is the responsibility of the School to prepare and guide students to become productive and compassionate citizens in a competitive and multicultural society.
Learning Differentiated instruction is vital to the success of all learners and provides the opportunity for each learner to reach his/her potential. Second language acquisition is critical for students to compete and succeed in a global economy.
