​Welcome to Sacred Heart!

For more then a century, Sacred Heart School has brought excellence in education to the children of Jersey City. 
The school’s mission is inspired by our philosophy that life-long success comes only by teaching the whole child:
Mind, Heart and Spirit.
​ 
Sacred Heart’s proud tradition of Faith in God and Faith in every child illuminates our central belief that​education is the most essential path to a successful future.
 
As a small, family oriented school, we endeavor to fill our classrooms and halls with learning, love and respect for all. 
Call, visit or email.
Our doors and hearts are always open!

What's New:

WELCOME BACK!
​
We hope that your summer was healthy, fun and restful!  You have been missed.  As we start the new school year, some things will be a little different than we are used to...we will all look a little different with our masks on, our routines will be different and some students will be learning from home. Luckily, many things will be the same as they always have been at Sacred Heart.  Sr. Frances, the faculty and staff are ready to help all students learn and have fun as they discover new things.

​May God bless us as this school year begins.  Let's have a great year!
