We recognize that a Sacred Heart education is an investment in your child’s future. Providing an independent school education requires careful financial planning and considerable sacrifice for most families. The School is committed to making a Sacred Heart education accessible to all academically qualified students who demonstrate need.
Financial aid is available to all students in Grades K-12. Requests for financial aid have no bearing on admission decisions made by the Admission Committee and no student will be denied admission because of financial need.
Sacred Heart Greenwich, like many independent schools, uses the services of School and Student Services for Financial Aid, or SSS, to help in assessing need.
