What sets Sacred Heart apart?

At Sacred Heart, we nurture the whole child in the context of the whole world. We have the freedom to develop a modern and remarkable curriculum that is not only exceptional academically but also responds to what the world needs now more than ever - respect, compassion, generosity, grace, intention, justice, and hope. As a result, our students are confident and competent, and they recognize a world beyond their own needs. 

Chicago Tradition

Sacred Heart is among Chicago’s best and oldest independent schools, serving the city’s children since 1876 and located on our historic Sheridan Road campus overlooking Lake Michigan since 1929.

Independent and Catholic

We provide the academic breadth and rigor characteristic of the best independent schools while celebrating our tradition as a Catholic school that warmly welcomes children of all faiths.

Part of a Global Network

As a member of the global Network of Sacred Heart schools dating back more than two centuries, we are profoundly committed to a mission that makes a lasting difference in the lives of our students.  We proudly educate students to Sacred Heart’s Five Goals: 1. A personal and active faith in God; 2. A deep respect for intellectual values; 3. A social awareness which impels to action; 4. The building of community as a Christian value; 5. Personal growth in an atmosphere of wise freedom.
