This is our 6th year at Sacred Heart and finally we have all 4 kids attending. The small class environment and community of parents with a common thread has been beneficial for both our children and us as parents. The teachers enthusiasm and skill has allowed each of them to be active participants in class and love learning; every year my daughters cry on the last day and then in July start asking "How many weeks until school starts?" My non-catholic husband was a skeptic at first and was sold on the full day Kindergarten. Two months into the school year he knew we would spend the next 16 years at Sacred Heart. He is now a member of the School Board and will be the President next year. Demographically, we are not varied, but we do give back to other communities and teach our children that philanthropy and action are necessary. Whether it's standing in the cold collecting donations for the food bank, or bringing the food TO the South Side food bank, packaging food at Feed My Starving Children as a group, or packaging toys and clothes for kids in need at Cradles to Candles, the parents at Sacred Heart make it a priority to help others. We are not a school of parents with our heads in the sand. We come from different backgrounds, but our values, often faith driven but not always, are a common thread in raising selfless kids with integrity. It starts at home, but Sacred Heart rounds it out. I cannot imagine a better school for my kids to grow up in. It's been a monumental influence of positivity in their lives and a family for all of us.

The school is a wonderful community of like-minded families that support one another and value a solid education with a strong reinforcement of values and integrity.

Sacred Heart truly is a community. The school helps the kids grow academically and emotionally. Because of the small environment, the kids get to try every activity, which helps to develop a sense of confidence. The kids are also taught to support one another and their community. I could not imagine a better place for my daughter to learn and grow.

We have three kids enrolled at the school and love everything about it. The leadership at the top is very strong, the teachers care greatly for the kids, and we feel strongly that our kids are getting a very good education.

I currently have 3 children enrolled at Sacred Heart School. The learning environment at Sacred Heart is incredible. Starting in the early education program, the children learn through play, but also have structured activity time. This build the foundation for them to continue to grow educationally at Sacred Heart. The smaller class sizes is truly a benefit to the students. They get more personalized time from the educators and the relationships they foster are special. Students at Sacred Heart are kind, forgiving, loving and spiritual. This is where the Faith based learning comes into play. We could not be happier with our choice of schools and love watching our children grow at Sacred Heart!

We have had our 3 children attend Sacred Heart. It teaches great values in an environment that challenges them to realize their full learning potential, providing support as required. We have had support services in speech, and access to extension in reading, and math. There is strong leadership from the staff and a supportive and welcoming parent community.

Sacred Heart School has been a great experience for my 3 children. They vary in educational needs, from needing speech therapy to math enrichment. Sacred Heart has been able to meet all of their needs, in a warm environment. They have a reading and math specialist, along with a Student Service department where my children have received in school speech therapy. We have been very happy at Sacred Heart.
