Overview
Students in grades 3 through 5 focus on project-based learning and expanding students’ understanding of math, reading, writing, history and science in an environment that integrates the beauty of the Catholic faith in all things.
The use of the Sophia Institute Religion series, Spirit of Truth, provides students with a strong foundation in the expression of their Catholic faith through a cross-curricular approach.

A love for Jesus and learning
Experienced faculty members foster a love of learning in their classrooms and lead students to strive for their personal best, setting high expectations and promoting a growth mindset.
Most importantly, recognizing that Jesus is the reason for our school, the curriculum at Sacred Heart Cathedral School integrates love of Christ and others into every subject area.
A classical approach
Classical approaches like Socratic questioning, the use of sacred art, and moral instruction in the virtues help students make connections, engage with their classmates, and develop a love of learning. The increased frequency of field trips in the upper elementary grades help students apply their knowledge in real world situations.
Novel studies in small groups, 1:1 iPads in the classroom, and the use of assessment data help students develop independent learning strategies. As in the lower grades, students have special instruction in music, art, library, physical education, and Latin.

How do parents get involved?
Volunteers are an integral part of the success of our school, both through events and activities.

The cost is $65 and the packets are available in the school office.
Is bus service available?
We do not own nor operate any sort of transportation service. You may request a zip code list mid-summer to check on creating a carpool.
Does Sacred Heart have a hot lunch program?
While the majority of students bring their own lunch, families may order lunch in advance through the online lunch program Campus Cuisine.
