Sacred Heart School to Host Open Houses
Events Celebrate Catholic Schools Week
LYNDHURST, NJ, January 8, 2007 -- Sacred Heart School in Lyndhurst will host two open houses to introduce families to the academic programs it offers for students in grades pre-K 3 through eight.
The first open house on Jan. 28 will kick off the school’s Catholic Schools Week celebration. The event will be held from 2 to 4 p.m. at the school, located at 620 Valley Brook Ave.
A second open house is scheduled for Feb. 1 from 7 to 8:30 p.m.
At the two open houses, parents can meet with teachers, students, parents of enrolled students and school administrators — including the principal and director of early childhood programs — to discover the many benefits of a Catholic school education at Sacred Heart.
Sacred Heart offers a positive, encouraging environment with highly-qualified teachers, all of whom are state-certified. The school’s students routinely earn standardized test scores that are well above the national average.
"At Sacred Heart, we have a long and proud reputation for academic excellence. We combine that with a spiritual life curriculum that builds strong moral values to last a lifetime," said Margaret Smiriga, principal of Sacred Heart School. "The proof is in our graduates, who go on to excel at some of the area’s most selective high schools and at prestigious colleges and universities."
Sacred Heart School enrolls students from Lyndhurst and surrounding areas, including Rutherford, North Arlington, Kearny, Harrison, Belleville, Nutley and Clifton.
Sacred Heart School’s Small Blessings program offers full- and half-day programs with flexible schedules for children in grades pre-K 3 and pre-K 4. The school also offers full-day programs for students in grades kindergarten through eight. Before- and after-school care are available.
The school features a state-of-the-art computer lab with Internet access and all classrooms are equipped with computers.
Sacred Heart students can take part in more than 20 extracurricular activities, including on-site instrumental music, sports such as basketball, track, and cheerleading, community service projects, student government and theater.
To help families manage tuition, Sacred Heart offers a flexible payment program and tuition discounts for enrolled siblings.
