Five Goals of Sacred Heart Education
The preamble of the original edition of the Goals and Criteria* states that "values taken for granted or left unarticulated become inoperative." This conviction resulted in capturing the essence of Sacred Heart education in the five Goals. The Goals and Criteria provide both the uniqueness of a Sacred Heart school and the strong bond of union among the Network of Sacred Heart schools. They continue to challenge all Sacred Heart educators to deepen their understanding of these timeless principles.
The five Sacred Heart Goals are:
- A Personal and Active Faith in God
- A Deep Respect for Intellectual Values
- A Social Awareness which Impels to Action
- The Building of Community as a Christian Value
- Personal Growth in an Atmosphere of Wise Freedom
