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.
Mission & Goals:

Hopkins School, New Haven
Courses / Programs
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.
