Welcome to Sacred Heart Schools, a preschool - high school independent Catholic school located in the heart of Atherton.
We have a beautiful, 63-acre campus that houses eight academic buildings; two performing arts venues; an aquatics center, three gyms, and multiple sports fields; a working farm and garden; maker studios, sacred spaces, and play areas - and so much more to explore!
Our students truly make this place their own, and it is our hope that you, too, will be able to join us here on campus, soon. In the meantime though, we invite you to use the links below to enjoy our virtual tours, led by some of our wonderful student hosts.
