The Sacred Heart School of Montreal
The Sacred Heart School of Montreal is an independent school dedicated to providing transformative education rooted in exceptional academics, personal growth, and global citizenship. In September 2024, the School became fully independent from government subsidies, allowing it to extend its mission to more young women, both locally and internationally, free from Quebec's English Language Education Eligibility requirements. Sacred Heart is committed to forming women of faith, intellect, and action, young leaders prepared to make a meaningful difference in the world.
Sophie's Gift: The Sacred Heart Philanthropy Project
A powerful example of Sacred Heart's vision in action is Sophie's Gift: The Sacred Heart Philanthropy Project, formerly known as the Youth Philanthropist Initiative. Embedded in the Grade 10 Religion, Culture and Citizenship course, students explore Catholic Social Teaching and social justice alongside Quebec's CCQ curriculum. In this academic and humanitarian context, they develop research, critical thinking, and leadership skills while examining real issues affecting their communities.
Sophie’s Gift culminates in a multi-disciplinary philanthropy initiative where students assess community needs and direct grant funding to charitable organizations. Through this hands-on experience, they learn not only about justice, but how to live it.
