Founded in Chicago in 1876, Sacred Heart Schools at Sheridan Road (Hardey Preparatory for Boys and Academy of
the Sacred Heart for Girls) are independent, Catholic, single-sex elementary schools committed to academic
excellence within the context of a Christian, faith-based community. The educational mission is deeply rooted in the
200-year tradition of the Society of the Sacred Heart and shared with the Network of Sacred Heart Schools located in
30 countries; including 25 schools in the United States and Canada. The essence of this tradition is the total

development of each child:
spiritual, intellectual, social, emotional and physical. Our girls and boys are taught in
