Three Schools - One Spirit

Sacred Heart of Jesus Catholic School includes three sections: the Primary School, the Academy, and the Preparatory School. All three sections focus on the intellectual and spiritual growth of our students, encouraging them to excel in both the classroom and the community. By working together, we develop a strong Christian bond between the students, teachers, and families.

Sacred Heart Primary School

The Primary School serves students from age 3 up to fifth grade. Their curriculum includes math, science, literacy skills, art, music, technology, physical education, foreign language, and religious instructions at almost all levels. 3K and 4K help students develop interpersonal skills and fine motor skills by providing opportunities for students to work together on different types of tasks. Students learn basic skills including colors, shapes, number concepts, and early writing skills. Students in K5 (Kindergarten) continue their education by developing their vocabulary through phonics and early reading activities and writing, strengthen their math and problem solving skills, and learn social responsibility. Students in first through fifth grades take that strong foundation and continue to build their knowledge and strengthen their character. Our students participate in the AR (Accelerated Reader) program by Renaissance Learning and participate in AR rewards throughout the school year, such as the AR Store.

Sacred Heart Academy

The Academy focuses on students from sixth through the eighth grade and helps them to develop their skills and preparing them for the transition from elementary to the upper-level preparatory school, while continuing to build upon their spiritual foundation. Students are no longer in self-contained classrooms and begin changing classrooms, a routine which is necessary to teach students responsiblility and give them the opportunity to experience different teaching styles. The core curriculum includes math, science, literacy skills, physical education, technology, foreign langauage and religious instruction. Students in grades six also receive music and art education. The Junior Beta Club is available to qualified students and Jr. Beta students volunteer in the Cardinal's Nest school store before and after schoool to help raise money to assist with club costs. Students in seventh and eighth grade are also eligible toparticipate in athletics at Sacred Heart.

Sacred Heart Preparatory School

The Preparatory School encompasses grades nine through twelve and focuses on preparing our students for a successful college career while guiding them during this important time in their spiritual growth. Students have a core curriculum consisting of English, science, math, history, and religion. Seniors have the option to participate in dual enrollment with Jacksonville State University and participate in English 101/102 and Mathematics 103/104 (College Algebra) for a reduced fee. Electives also include Spanish I/II, Web Design, Yearbook, Choral and Drama, Archaeology, Stage Design, and more as interest and resources arise. We have several athletics available including volleyball, girls' and boys' basketball, baseball, and girls' and boys' soccer. We feel that it is important to develop as a person, as well as a student. Therefore, students participate in a service project that lets them give of themselves to the community.
