About Convent of the Sacred Heart:
In 1818, St. Philippine Duchesne led a group of five French-speaking Religious of the Sacred Heart (RSCJs) to the New World and started the first free school for girls west of the Mississippi River. Thirty years later in 1848, on Bleecker Street in Manhattan, Mother Aloysia Hardey, rscj founded our School, Convent of the Sacred Heart. In 1904, the School moved to Maplehurst in the Bronx, and in 1945 moved to its present location in Greenwich, the former Overlook Farm Estate, to accommodate a growing student body. Since then the School has continued its 161-year-old tradition of educating young women to learn and to lead. We currently enroll approximately 777 girls, and are part of the Network of Schools of the Sacred Heart, all of which are committed to a set of principles known as the Goals & Criteria of Sacred Heart Schools.
