Faith, Family & Academic Excellence
“Let it be known to all who enter here, that Christ is the reason for this school, the unseen but ever present Teacher in our classes, the model of our faculty, the inspiration of our students.”
For over 120 years, Sacred Heart School has helped students achieve educational and spiritual success through a tradition of faith, family and academic excellence.
Sacred Heart School of New Britain, Connecticut, is a Pre-K to 8th grade Catholic School in the Archdiocese of Hartford. SHS instills traditional Catholic and family values in a safe, secure, and family oriented environment. Our students are further enriched through a wide variety of extra curricular activities, differential instruction, and before and after school childcare.

Students at Sacred Heart School did more than just listen to the Passion of Christ. Having read about the sufferings of Jesus during Religion classes, the students took on the roles of Christ, the jubilant crowds of Palm Sunday (grade K) and the condemning people of Good Friday (grades 6 & 7). These re-enactments set the tone for listening and understanding the Gospel messages of Holy Week and brought attention to the glorious resurrection of Easter Sunday.
Literally, the “sound of music” filled the Sacred Heart School, New Britain, gym as members of the CT Virtuosi Chamber Orchestra, under the direction of Adrian Sylveen, visited the school as part of their Education Program. The performance consisted of some hands-on activities, lecture and musical selections to introduce the students to classical music and the instruments of the orchestra. This year’s presentation consisted of popular jazz pieces from famous composers and musicians. From the youngest members of our school family to the oldest, it was a captive audience! While some schools have had to cut their Fine Arts Programs, SHS students continue to enjoy their music and art classes. The holistic education offered is important and vital to our Mission to "Educate the whole child is a Gospel inspired atmosphere."
2nd Nature… The 3 R’s may have been the foundation on which we all built our educational foundation but a 4th element has been added to the mix in today’s curriculum. Students work with ease as technology comes as second nature to them as they incorporate hi-tech advancement into all their subject areas at SHS.
