Academics
Sacred Heart Model School offers a curriculum that prepares students
for the next academic level and for life in general. The curriculum

and socially. Combined with a low student-teacher ratio, the Model
School provides a learning environment that facilitates and encourages
independent thinking, problem solving and intellectual curiosity
