Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit
of Holiness

 

We strive to form saints and leaders rooted in the immutable truths of the Catholic faith, appreciative of their Western heritage and religious traditions, and inspired to bear witness to others of the hope that is within them.  We challenge each student to pursue perfection in holiness and excellence in academics as we strive to rebuild the culture through truth, faith, and service.

The goal of Our Lady of the Sacred Heart Academy is to lead students to a knowledge and love of God. We direct all our actions toward the honor and glory of God through the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church.

A Quick Look

Recognition & Accreditation

Located on thirty beautiful acres in northwestern Rockford, the academy is recognized by the Illinois State Board of Education and accredited by Cognia and the National Association of Private Catholic and Independent Schools, of which Cardinal Raymond Burke is the spiritual advisor.

Classical Curriculum

Classical liberal arts education, the Church's time-tested approach, which formed so many leaders and saints (until the last century), has Christ, the Logos, at its center. Theology is the queen of the sciences; education is the cultivation of virtue; students understand and appreciate truth, goodness, and beauty; and all things are ordered to the honor and glory of God.

Chesterton Schools Network

Our high school is affiliated with the Chesterton Schools Network, an internationally-acclaimed network with a rigorous, integrated curriculum designed to unlock student potential and prepare students to succeed in college and professional life, and to excel in service of family, of country, and of Christ our Lord.
