Core Subjects

Sacred Heart offers ten years of continuous curriculum development with Religion as the core. This academic curriculum strives to educate the whole child. It is based on the Common Core State Standards for ELA (English Language Arts), Math, and the Next Generation Science Standards as adopted by the Office of Catholic Education of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia. Information about the Standards is available for review at www.catholicschool-phl.org. Instructional guidelines of the Sisters, Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary are used to augment and support the Archdiocesan guidelines. 13 Elementary curriculum areas include: Religion, Mathematics, English Language Arts, Social Studies, Science, Library Science, Technology, Music, Art, and Physical Education. In grades 5 - 8, an Honors Math program is offered for students who meet the requirements. Curriculum coordinators monitor the needs of teachers and students and make appropriate recommendations for advancing quality education.
