For 125 years, the educational mission of the Religious of the Sacred Heart of Jesus has thrived in San Francisco through the Schools of the Sacred Heart. Convent of the Sacred Heart High School and Stuart Hall High School are the older siblings within our family of independent, Catholic schools, each committed to educate to: a personal and active faith in God, a deep respect for intellectual values, a social awareness that compels to action, the building of community as a Christian value and personal growth in an atmosphere of wise freedom. Our students find a challenging curriculum that provides them with a strong foundation to meet the demands of highly competitive college entrance.
They find single-sex classrooms in a co-ed environment, which is unique in San Francisco; they find a community that gives them the confidence to think critically and reflect thoughtfully on the big questions in life; they find accomplished faculty who help them achieve and grow. But most of all, our students find a launching pad to a life bursting with potential, with meaning and with purpose.
The academic programs at Stuart Hall High School provide students with the knowledge, cognitive skills and sense of self to succeed in college and life. This year, for example, some classes experimented with iPad applications to help with their studies. Students in AP Environmental Science learned how to identify and analyze environmental principles and problems in theory, and were then given a chance to dig a little deeper during environmental service projects, a newly expanded elective.
