Convent of the Sacred Heart: Convent of the Sacred Heart, located in Greenwich, Connecticut (29 minutes from Grand Central Station, New York City), is a private, accredited, Catholic, college preparatory day school for girls from preschool through grade 12. It is privately operated within the Roman Catholic Diocese of Bridgeport. Since our School’s founding in 1848, Sacred Heart has educated young women to become leaders and play transformative roles in society. Our accomplished alumnae are testimony to the commitment of our distinguished faculty, who embody the mission of St. Madeleine Sophie Barat, our School’s foundress and who established the Society of the Sacred Heart.
The Sacred Heart academic program provides a strong educational foundation that enables students to become competent, independent and creative thinkers. Students are expected to be active participants in the learning process, constructing their own learning through exploration of the world, inquiry and the process of discovery. An interdisciplinary approach to learning helps students discover and understand the relevance of all subject areas. The strength of each program lies in the development of higher order thinking skills. Students are expected to analyze, criticize, evaluate and make important connections with the concepts they learn. This approach to education fosters the development of a student who is open to learning and the joys of life.

Hopkins School is an independent, coeducational, college-preparatory day school for grades 7-12 located in New Haven, New Haven County, Connecticut. We offer middle and high schools programs with a college prep SAT and ACT, advanced placement and honors courses. The curriculum promotes a strong foundation in the academic disciplines, a broad exposure to the liberal arts, and selective opportunities to pursue individual interests.
We challenge students to try on the perspectives and habits of mind that historians and writers, mathematicians and linguists, scientists and artists, and athletes and musicians bring to their disciplines.
Here students experience the ways that scholars from the various fields pose questions; then they pose questions of their own. They progress through increasingly empowering stages, from harvesting information to gaining knowledge, to reaching understanding and, finally, to forming convictions. Life at Hopkins is also strongly athletic, artistic, and social; it presumes a commonality of purpose and a focus on striving for excellence in everything we do. We are accredited by the National Association of Independent Schools.
