Sacred Heart School Montessori

We are a private Catholic school providing sliding scale tuition to make high quality education accessible to families in our low-income, predominantly non-Catholic community. Many of our families receive a state childcare subsidy for preschool and afterschool that makes our school free for them. 

While Sacred Heart School was founded in 1920, we started our first Montessori primary classroom in 2015. Our school includes pk-8th grade (1st-8th are not Montessori classrooms) with about 200 students total. Our school is a family, with frequent interactions between grade levels and a strong, supportive staff culture. Although many of our families have little familiarity with the Montessori approach, they have become enthusiastic about their children’s experiences with us and by word of mouth, demand for our Montessori program has steadily grown - we have a waitlist every year.
