Same to homestay, but you live in the boarding residence at your destination school.
Boarding: Living in a boarding residence at a Sacred Heart school offers a unique opportunity for students seeking independence and privacy while immersing themselves in a supportive and culturally enriching environment.
Boarders benefit from a blend of personal space and communal living, fostering a sense of both belonging and adventure.
It's a more independent way to experience a new culture while creating lasting memories and friendships that transcend borders.
The Sacred Heart Network's Summer Service Projects are immersive experiences for students across the USA and Canada, promoting social awareness and civic responsibility.
Rooted in the network’s commitment to social justice, these projects focus on direct service, advocacy, and community partnerships. Each project, hosted by individual schools, enables students to engage deeply with various social justice issues, fostering a lifelong commitment to service. The program has been a key part of Sacred Heart education for over 30 years.
During an exchange trip, an entire grade level from Sacred Heart schools visits a sister school within the network, creating a unique experience of cultural immersion and community building.
Students engage in shared academic activities, service projects, and local explorations, fostering a deeper understanding of each other's traditions and values.
This experience not only strengthens bonds between the schools but also enriches students' global perspectives, instilling a sense of solidarity and shared mission within the Sacred Heart community.
A teacher exchange program between Sacred Heart network schools offers educators the opportunity to immerse themselves in different teaching environments while sharing best practices and deepening their understanding of Sacred Heart values.
Teachers participate in classroom observations, collaborate on curriculum development, and engage with the host school's community. This experience enhances professional growth, fosters global connections within the network, and reinforces a shared educational mission, enriching the learning experiences of students across all participating schools.
