Ways to Give

Explore the many ways you can support students' education at The Sacred Heart School of Montreal

Together, We Build Her Future

In 2023, The Sacred Heart School of Montreal became a fully independent school—an exciting milestone that has expanded access to our mission. With no certificate of eligibility required, all qualified students—regardless of linguistic background or immigration status—can now apply and, if accepted, attend Sacred Heart. This new chapter reinforces our commitment to academic excellence, inclusion, and our Sacred Heart values.

Your Gift. Our Heart. Their Future.

Every gift to The Heart Fund provides vital resources that sustain what makes Sacred Heart so distinctive. Your support directly strengthens our priorities this year—enhancing academic programs, advancing initiatives that enrich student life, providing financial aid to ensure access, and supporting the growth and development of our dedicated faculty and staff.

I feel that it’s a privilege to be able to support the school that shaped me and rooted me in a tradition of community, care, and kindness. I can trace so much of who I have become to the lessons I learned over 35 years ago, from Mother Johnson and the incredible teachers and staff. Sacred Heart lives in me.
