The Sacred Heart School of Montreal One of Canada's oldest independent Catholic schools for girls

Welcome to The Sacred Heart School of Montreal, one of Canada's longest-serving independent Catholic schools for girls and a valued member of the worldwide network of Sacred Heart Schools. Our school is a very special place with a long-standing reputation for academic excellence. Since 1861, our students and parents have valued our enriched and balanced educational programs. We are all looking forward with excitement to our 150th anniversary celebrations which will begin in the Fall of 2010.

Our dedicated and talented faculty is committed to the development of the whole child: intellectual, spiritual, physical and emotional. We offer a challenging faith-based educational experience through child-centered learning activities.

Peruse our site, get to know us, and learn what sets us apart: challenging academics, Advanced Placement courses, award-winning choir and jazz bands, robotics, comprehensive physical education and co-curricular programs, Campus Ministry and pastoral services, commitment to community service, and an international student exchange program.

At Sacred Heart, we create an appetite for knowledge, and our girls are urged to pursue their passions and acquire independent thinking. Honesty, responsibility, integrity, respect, compassion and generosity are values we cherish. In addition, as a Catholic school we are devoted to the development of spirit and are committed to the five goals which underpin our school's mission and philosophy.

Our small class size means we get to know and understand your daughter better. Here at Sacred Heart, every student has a valuable contribution to make to our school community and every educator has the responsibility to bring out the best in every girl. Your daughter's happiness, well-being and success are our priorities. We strive to teach our students to be strong leaders and caring citizens. Our vibrant house system promotes camaraderie and school spirit, and the girls appreciate and contribute to the family-like atmosphere that permeates our school.

As cherished members of our community, we welcome and encourage our parents to volunteer in the various activities throughout the school.

Thank you for visiting our website. I also invite you to drop by to see for yourself what makes us unique and to discuss the merits of a Sacred Heart education in greater detail.

Sincerely,

Shawn O'Donnell
Head of School
