The most important facet of the educational endeavors of Sacred Heart School is its religion program. Jesus Christ is its foundation and focus. His revelation gives new meaning to life and helps to direct our thoughts, actions and will according to the gospel, making the Beatitudes the norm of life. For this reason, the highest priority is given to the teaching of Christian values and attitudes, which will direct the students to bring their faith to daily life.

The scope of the religion program can be defined in two words, educational and formational. While the faith is shared through the light of instruction, there is always the realization that the faith is "caught rather than taught." Great effort is taken to create a school community which can incorporate both aspects.
