Welcome to Middle School admissions at Sacred Heart! The Middle School consists of 5th grade - 8th grade and we accept applications for all grade levels. Middle School is a time of exciting growth in a young student’s life and at Sacred Heart, it is designed to be a time for students to embrace new opportunities, develop their voices, take risks, and cultivate resilience as they learn about themselves. The academic program primarily focuses on developing the skills of critical reading and thinking, clear and concise writing, problem-solving, public speaking, responsible behavior, and thoughtful collaboration with peers. The Middle School after school elective program is a big part of the student life with all programming offered free of charge for all students. 

During the Middle School admissions process each family will be interviewed by a member of the admissions team (virtually), guided on a one-on-one tour through the facilities (in person), have the option to ask questions of the admissions team and have their daughter assessed. We aim to get to know each child as an individual and to discover her gifts. To this end we will facilitate in-person student group visits and individual assessments for all Middle School applicants. More information on the process for each grade and the associated timing can be found below. 

We will also offer many in person and virtual events to help you learn more about many aspects of the school. We know that attending many events during the admissions season can feel overwhelming, please know that your attendance is always welcomed but optional. 

If your family is in need of financial assistance, please visit our Tuition and Affordability section of this site to learn more. 

We look forward to getting to know your family!
