Empowering Young Women: A Legacy of Academic Excellence and Spiritual Growth

Sacred Heart Academy (SHA) stands as a beacon of opportunity for young women in the New Haven area and beyond. Founded in 1946, SHA has empowered generations of girls to be confident thinkers, ethical leaders, and compassionate individuals. We believe every girl has the potential to make a difference in the world, and we nurture their intellectual, spiritual, and physical development in a supportive, all-girls environment.
