School History
Overview
The Community of St. Elizabeth/ St. Robert Regional Catholic School creates life-long learners who exemplify the teachings of Jesus Christ.
We believe Catholic elementary education has Jesus Christ at its center and it builds a foundation for living in the world.
Our aim is to create life-long learners; respects the dignity of all persons; assists parents in their role as first educators; promotes a partnership between parents and teachers; and forms the whole child.
The Academy of the Sacred Heart is an independent Catholic school open to children of all faiths that offers a safe and happy environment for students to learn and grow. Our preschool through eighth grade program focuses on the whole child, building strong academic skills while fostering independent learning and communication. Curriculum highlights include: 2 science labs, a computer lab, Maker Space, French and Spanish, daily Physical Education, and recognized art, music and athletic programs.
Founded in 1818 by St. Philippine Duchesne, the Academy was the first of many Sacred Heart schools established in the U.S. Our mission is to educate and inspire the heart and mind of each child to become a courageous and confident leader who knows and loves God, and who reveals that love by serving others. Graduates are young men and women well prepared for the challenges of high school, college, and beyond.
