Tell me more about Immaculate Heart
Immaculate Heart is a Catholic, independent, college-preparatory school founded in 1906 by the Sisters of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Since its inception, Immaculate Heart has continued its commitment to an educational program addressing the needs of young women as academic requirements develop and change with each generation.
Immaculate Heart lives its mission by developing a foundation for the ongoing acquisition of skills, knowledge, and values, all of which enable students to function as intelligent, informed, and contributing members of society, as well as young women whose self-efficacy and lives of faith motivate each to realize their unique potential. This foundation makes it possible for students to discern carefully and choose wisely those values that contribute to their own and others’ authentic well-being.
The school shares in the teaching philosophy of the Catholic Church by creating a learning environment in which students mature in their faith. Students reflect on their individual responsibility to model great heart and right conscience as members of a global community, just as the Gospel calls all people to truth, justice, honesty, service, and compassion.
School-wide celebratory traditions, liturgies, retreats, service experiences, and curricular and co-curricular activities all foster the spiritual, physical, social-emotional, intellectual, and aesthetic development of the student. Immaculate Heart upholds and facilitates this mission with a competent, caring, and nurturing administration, faculty, and staff who celebrate the religious, ethnic, and socio-economic diversity of our school community.
A deep commitment to the school’s motto, “Maria Immaculata spes nostra,” reminds us that Mary is our hope. Our students will, as Mary did, mature into strong, courageous, loving women who meet challenges with confidence and bring hope into the world.
Immaculate Heart, in partnership with parents, empowers students to become engaged citizens concerned about the global community. Students embrace learning as a lifetime endeavor and become creative problem-solvers. They develop a capacity for integrity, wisdom, humor, joy, peace, and love, so as to “make gentle the life of this world.”
