[edit] Philosophy

(as taken from the Stuart Hall High School Student/Parent HandBook):

The Schools of the Sacred Heart in the United States, members of a world-wide network, offer an education that is marked by a distinctive spirit. Sacred Heart schools are committed to the individual student's total development: spiritual, intellectual, emotional, and physical. Sacred Heart schools emphasize serious study, social responsibility, and growth founded in faith. They commit themselves to educate to Five Goals:

A personal and active faith in God;
A deep respect for intellectual values;
A social awareness which impels to action;
The building of community as a Christian value; and,
Personal growth in an atmosphere of wise freedom.

"The schools of the Sacred Heart emphasize studies which nurture the desire for truth. You will be challenged by the intellectual dimension of your education. Great emphasis is placed upon your capability for critical thinking and reasoning. The intention of Sacred Heart education is to address the whole person. You come as you are and are cared for with great love. The hope is to implant in you a sacred love for yourself, to challenge you to be more honest, to lead you along the road of integrity."

(Life at the Sacred Heart, 1982)

Stuart Hall High School shares in this philosophy by offering a college preparatory education for young men. Its unique partnership with its sister school, Convent of the Sacred Heart High School, provides single sex education within a coeducational community.
