Convent of the Sacred Heart in Greenwich, Connecticut

“My daughter has attended CSH for 3 yrs now. We are considering moving her to another school (will wait one more year). Our daughter would like more challenging work, but we were told it would not be fair to the other girls. No the tuition is not an issue.”

“Sacred Heart is an excellent place for any student as it offers superb academics, athletics, and social environment that is conducive for a successful education. I loved every second there and now attend Princeton, something I wouldn't be able to do without the help of my teachers and peers. Thanks Ms. Casey!”

“I've been to ALOT of schools over the years and now I'm back at CSH. I have diabetes and have missed alot of school thrpughout my life, and CSH was the only school that has shown me compassion and acceptance. They accomodated me when I was sick and waived the work when I was in the hospital. the girls were never mean to me, and I was greeted with hugs when I saw them. It was too easy at the other schools to be made fun of for it, or for me to get bad grades because I constantly missed class because of something that was out of my control. And even though the highschool is really hard, when you get to college, its so easy because you learned time management. Overall, CSH is a GREAT school and I implore you to look at it.”

“I have been going to Sacred Heart for 10 years now, and I am leaving next year. My years there have been very worth while and have receved a solid foundaton of education. Definitely, I had a better experence then I would of had at public school. The admissions thing is a little screwed up. There are people gong here who are certainly not up to the academic standard which hurts the ovarall class. The academcs are tradtional for a local private school, but certainly not nearly the best in the nation. An A at Sacred Heart is more like a B- at the top schools in the country. Im gong to go out and say t, the athletcs are horrible. The field space is lacking and the teams are crammed into very small practce facilities. None of the varsty teams are compettve at all, which is a shame. thanks”

“I'm not sure what that other person was talking about, but this school is a great school. I go there and I am in the seventh grade. The work load is a little intense, but that will only help me in the years to come. We are one big community, and I know everyone in my grade and we are like sisters. In the mornings, we all fit in one classroom comfortably and even if it means sitting on someone else's lap, we all feel at home. The classes are amazing. Every one of them is interesting and fun. The teachers encourage your hardest efforts because there is no grade inflation. The 5 goals play a large part in our school. The values that the school instill in us is appreciable to the greatest extents. This is a school where your history teacher will give you a ride home.”

“I spent eight years at the Convent and graduated just last year; I now attend a top 20 American university and I could not be more prepared! My teachers at CSH were people who loved what they did and it came across in the classroom. They were always willing to provide extra help if you needed it! The small grade and class sizes fostered close relationships between students of all ages: I had friends in every high school class and was extremely close with my grade in general. I love my time at CSH and I would never want to spend it anywhere else!”

“Terrible. Do not send your child(ren) here. Although the teachers are amazing at what they do, the hardly tend to the specific needs of a child. When the staff tries to solve problems they only make them worse. Although it is a catholic school with 'The 5 Goals and Criteria' girls rarely fallow these goals. For me they are simply a way to lure parents into a terrible environment. The girls are completely matirealistic and unwelcoming to new students. Hope this helps with your school choice.”

“I've been there for 10 years now, and it is a fantastic school. The thing that seperates it from all of the other schools is the values it instills in each of us students. Not necesarily religious values, but moral principles that are needed to make us better people. i can confidently say I am a better person because of CSH!”

“I actually have attended CSH for 8 years now and I have had an amazing time. I have made incredible friendships and really have a sisterhood with each girl in my grade. There is a fair amount of work required for the school and a very high standard that will prepare you for anything you wish to accomplish later in life. But one must be willing to put the time and effort in to excel at CSH.”

“I love Sacred Heart! I started as a freshman in the Upper School last year and I have so far had an amazing experience! The girls are all so warm and friendly and very welcoming. CSH is different from any other high school because we are all like one huge family. My classmates are all friends with each other and we rarely, if ever, have issues (which is saying something for an all-girls school). On top of all of that, they provide us with a superb education. I have friends come back from Ivy League universities and tell me how well CSH prepared them for the work and courseload of college. I feel blessed and lucky to be able ot attend such an amazing school as Sacred Heart!”

“Quality of the academic programs are excellent. The environment in which the children are taught lends a moral perspective to learning and life. The extracurricular activities are very good and the new atheltic fields, turf fields, are being completed(2006). However, CSH still lacks an adequate gymnasium. It is not large enough to accomodate the demand of the students. Parent involvement is encouraged and very high. The bottom line is that the children are happy, well-ajdusted, and confident with an awareness of those less fortunate.”

“CSH is a school that lives up to its goals and criteria better than any place I know. Our daughter is a compassionate, caring young lady, due in large part to the education and values she has received at CSH. Thank you to all the faculty and staff, especially Sister Magnetti.”

“I for one would like to say it is absolutely great that the school has included other religions and has not remained completely Catholic. As for the academics, I believe they are excellent and I also think the choice of activities is wonderful. In addition, I really like the personal feel of the educational experience at Sacred Heart.”

“A truly great school. It is worth every penny of the tuition. My daughter started there in fourth grade and was very successful. The teachers are warm, experienced and creative. I wholeheartedly recommend it.”

“Sacred Heart is a wonderful school that provides girls with a supportive and loving environment conducive to learning and personal growth. The academic programs are top notch as are the teachers conducting the classes. The addition of many extracurricular activities has greatly improved the school since my years there. Parents are heavily involved which is fantastic. I highly recommend this school to anyone near the Greenwich, CT area.”

“Convent of the sacred heart is a complete sell-out. They do not take children based on 'merit or talent' - it is solely based on alumni, legacies and money, money, money. They want to believe they provide the best education, but in fact, i know many people who have said the cost of their daughter's education did not buy them more than the public schools which in greenwich, westport and fairfield are outstanding. Money does not always buy a good education....Super snob academy with children driven to schools in limo does not set good values or morals for women.”

“This was a wonderful school for our daughter. I went to Sacred Heart as a girl also, as did my grandmother and sister and aunts. that is the kind of school it is, like a sorority. Once you are an alum you have friends all over the world in the other sister schools. My daughter emerged as an accomplished adult ready for college, where she is now a senior, and successful in every endeavor. You can't beat this school...only negative is that the wonderful Catholic foundation from 150 years ago has sold out to other religions, I guess it is the almighty dollar now.”

“Sacred Heart was a very nurturing environment for a young woman like myself. Although my years were limited to 5, the strong sense of community spread throughout all the grades and the commitment to education and social awareness through all grade levels was clear.”
