The Academy of the Sacred Heart is a Catholic high school for young women,
owned and operated by the Sisters of Charity of Saint Elizabeth of Convent
Station. It has educated young women from its founding in 1868 up to the
present time. It is accredited by the Middle States Association of Schools
and Colleges. The staff consists of Sisters of Charity and laymen and women
totaling 25. School enrollment averages 160 students in grades 9-12.
They have provided the people of Hoboken with their only Catholic high
school alternative. The Impetus for this small learning community comes from
a philosophic tradition that combines the Gospel values of love and
reverence with the democratic ideal of responsible citizenship.
In educational standards, Sacred Heart maintains the best traditions of its
early principles. The tendency of later years to discontinue the classical
courses in favor of less cultured curricula, learning to purely utilitarian
studies, has not been fostered by our Academy. The high school maintains the
full classical course of study together with a full complement of math,
science, business, computer, and vocational courses. The Academy from its
earliest years cultivated ideals that modern ideas have not supplanted; the
basic trend of its educational development is to mould the heart of youth on
religious principles and complement them by close attention to a liberal
arts education.
