Upper School Virtual Open House

For students and families interested in Grade 9

Wednesday, October 20, 2021
6:00 pm

Please contact Immy Mullin, Associate Director of Admissions at imullin@cshnyc.org with any questions.

We are delighted that you are considering Sacred Heart for your daughter.

Given the recent changes to New York State's COVID-19 restrictions, we have made some adjustments to this year's admissions process. We are currently offering in-person tours for all applicant families, as there is no better way to experience the spirit and warmth of Sacred Heart than to walk through our school. Of course, families may elect to tour virtually instead.

Larger events, such as our Open Houses, will remain virtual for all families, along with all parent interviews and child assessments. Whether your family chooses to attend in-person events or stay virtual, we value and respect your decision. Our goals remain the same: to get to know your family, and to help you gain a true sense of the exceptional opportunities that await your daughter at Sacred Heart!
