About SHS

Sacred Heart School was founded in 1952. Fr. Thomas Moore was the founding pastor of the school and, together with the Sisters of St. Joseph of Peace, became the driving force behind its success.  Sacred Heart School is located atop Clyde Hill in Bellevue, Washington. We are Catholic K-8 school with a tradition of providing an excellent faith based education for more then 55 years.  We are accredited through the Western Catholic Education Association

The curriculum stresses academic achievement within a Christian community where the child feels that he/she is loved and respected by his/her peers as well as the teacher. Vatican II texts are used so that our theology is in compliance with the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops. United with each other in meaningful liturgy and prayer, the students can further come to an understanding of the Christian life. At Sacred Heart, we are attempting to “teach as Jesus did.”

The Archdiocesan curriculum guidelines, consistent with the State of Washington guidelines, are followed for the teaching of all secular subject areas. The curriculum is marked by current content and fresh approaches to methodology. There is emphasis on principles rather than fact, on learning through problem solving rather than by precept. We strive to offer a program which makes use of many sources of reading material, a wide variety of audio-visual and technology tools and a multi-text approach to the content areas.
