Attend Open House - Fall 2024  -Sunday, September 29, 9 am - 2:00 pm

This is a great opportunity for prospective families in 6th, 7th and 8th grade to tour our beautiful building, meet teachers, students and current parents, and learn more about opportunities for your daughter in academics, athletics and extra-curricular activities.  Tours last approximately 1-1.25 hours.  Reservations strongly encouraged but not required.  Register for an appointment here.

 

Tours - If you cannot attend Open House and would like to schedule a tour, please submit this request form.

 

Shadow Days
We welcome 8th grade girls to Shadow for a Day. Students will be paired with a ninth or tenth grade girl (either someone you request or who shares similar interests) and attend classes, go to lunch, meet faculty and staff, and learn more about being a SHA girl.  Sign up for a Shadow Day here.

This three-week prep course is designed to familiarize 8th grade girls with the Catholic High School Entrance Exam including test taking strategies in both English and Math.  The cost is $75 and includes the Peterson's review book.  REGISTER HERE.

 

Prospective families are invited to attend to learn more about the IB Diploma Program (IBDP).  The IBDP is a challenging two-year curriculum for junior and senior years.  Combining intellectual exploration with hands-on independent projects, the IBDP prepares students for college success and engaged global citizenship. Sacred Heart is the only private high school in WNY to offer this unique opportunity for your daughter.  Sacred Heart is also a candidate school for the IB Middle Years Program (MYP).  The MYP is designed for all 9th and 10th graders and will complement SHA's Franciscan values while providing enriched learning opportunities that extend beyond traditional classroom boundaries.  The evening will allow prospective families to hear firsthand from current IB students/scholars and faculty.   RSVP here.
