School Description
Founded in Chicago in 1876, Sacred Heart Schools at Sheridan Road (Hardey Preparatory for Boys and Academy of the Sacred Heart for Girls) are independent, Catholic, single-sex elementary schools committed to academic excellence within the context of a Christian, faith-based community. The educational mission is deeply rooted in the 200-year tradition of the Society of the Sacred Heart and shared with the Network of Sacred Heart Schools located in 30 countries; including 25 schools in the United States and Canada. The essence of this tradition is the total development of each child: spiritual, intellectual, social, emotional and physical. Our girls and boys are taught in single-gender classrooms, but follow a similar curriculum and share in many activities. With a total enrollment of approximately 600 students, the Schools are organized into three academic divisions each led by a division head.
Preschool Vision
It is central to the Sacred Heart mission that children feel nurtured in an environment that is built on respect, trust, and love while focusing on each child’s highest potential. Parents can feel a sense of comfort and confidence that their child will be nurtured and cognitively enriched in the learning environment. Our Sacred Heart Preschool should be thought of as a home away from home. Preschool educators and staff members strive to develop a respectful and compassionate relationship with our Sacred Heart families (students, parents, grandparents, and childcare providers) by exploring each family’s unique perspective and connection to the Sacred Heart mission. Collaborative trust is essential and is earned as these relationships grow in breadth and depth.
