Re-visioning of the Sacred Heart Goals and Criteria

Re-visioning of the Sacred Heart GOALS AND CRITERIA

“We believe the 2020 Goals and Criteria effectively frame the vision of Sacred Heart education that will serve our students, our faculties, our families, and our communities for the next fifteen years.”

SUPPORTING OUR MISSION AND PRINCIPLES

Schools of the Sacred Heart share in the educational mission of the Society of the Sacred Heart as articulated in the Goals and Criteria. The Goals and Criteria connect Sacred Heart educators and the Society of the Sacred Heart and play a fundamental role in supporting the mission and principles at the heart of a Sacred Heart Education. The re-visioning of the Goals and Criteria of Sacred Heart education was approved after two years of work with our 25 Network schools in the US and Canada, the Religious of the Sacred Heart, Boards of Trustees and various other constituencies. We are grateful to the dedicated members of SHCOG (Sacred Heart Commission on Goals), led by the Society of the Sacred Heart RSCJ across Canada and the United States. In their announcement letter, the Society says, “We recognize in these Goals and their Criteria Sophie's charism, the spirit of the Society and our philosophy of education. We also recognize an awareness of the world's needs and our role as educators to enable critical analysis and informed service.” Sacred Heart Academy Bryn Mawr is so grateful to be "part of something larger" and share these guiding principles as we work to educate our students to be their best for the world.

Thank you to the SHA Bryn Mawr committee members for your leadership on this important project for our school and our Network: Deirdre Cryor Sharon Ackerley Anna Gill Melanie McMenamin ’93, P’26 (Trustee) Kelly Weber
