The Convent of the Sacred Heart in New York City is a part of a worldwide network of Sacred Heart schools, which makes it possible for the school to offer an exchange program abroad of about 3 to 10 weeks to its 10th grade students.
The program offers students opportunities for growth through the discovery of another culture. They become independent and self-directed young women in an environment that is different yet familiar, as they travel overseas to Sacred Heart schools and to Sacred Heart families. They become young ambassadors not only representing their school abroad, but they also introduce the American way and its values to other cultures. This bond is strengthened when the students from abroad come to the United States.
Students may study for part of a semester in one of our U.S. or International schools. We regularly send students to Nantes and Lille, France; Madrid and Barcelona, Spain; Rome, Italy; Vienna, Austria; Sydney and Brisbane, Australia; as well as Taipei, Taiwan. This is a wonderful opportunity to master a foreign language, discover another part of the world, make new friends and learn and appreciate another culture. In the U.S., students have attended Sacred Heart Network schools in Miami, New Orleans, Omaha, San Francisco, Grand Coteau, Washington D.C. and Seattle.
