Exploring Entrepreneurship

FutureLab extends beyond the classroom with our Exploring Entrepreneurship program—a unique partnership with our sister school in Atherton, CA. Students from Sacred Heart in New York have the opportunity to visit Silicon Valley, where they gain firsthand experience with careers in technology. Likewise, Atherton students visit New York to explore the world of finance. This exchange emphasizes that careers in technology are more than just coding—they are rooted in creativity and design, providing a well-rounded understanding of the modern workforce.
