Curriculum

Objectives:

Facing the 21st century, Sacred Heart Schools strive to educate students with the following goals:

• To foster a deep inner life

• To stimulate intellectual development

• To encourage a lifelong love for learning

• To live life fully

• To arouse social awareness and promote justice

Methods and Pedagogy:

We incorporate a wide variety of activities to help the students reach these goals. Throughout the school, we are proponents of "The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People" which shows students how to prioritize their lives to effectively complete any objective. We also implement a portion of IB pedagogy in order to develop and maintain critical thinking skills while fostering a deeper understanding and awareness of what is happening around them.

Collaboration:

These methods paired with student collaboration and group work are transforming the way teachers instruct and how students learn. We know that by utilizing these methods we are taking leaps forward in education to keep up with the rising demand of creative people with the ability to think critically about issues.

Looking Toward the Future

We believe at Sacred Heart that we must adapt and meet the needs of today's students. Starting in 2017 we have implemented the use of Google Chromebooks in the classroom. This will allow the students to do research online, work together on projects, and learn basic skills needed to compete in today's society.
