Sacred Heart Greenwich Leadership Academy

The Sacred Heart Greenwich Leadership Academy empowers students to develop the essential skills, confidence, and mindset to become leaders in their communities and beyond. Grounded in the Sacred Heart Goals, this comprehensive program fosters personal growth, ethical decision-making, collaboration, and a commitment to service.

Program Highlights

  • Upper School Integration: Leadership development is incorporated into the Upper School advisory program, where students engage in meaningful discussions, activities, and mentorship opportunities to enhance their leadership potential. Students can also elect to participate in the Leadership Academy program each year and receive a Certificate of Mastery in Leadership at the successful completion of 4 years.

  • Middle School Mini-Course: A specially designed mini-course introduces 6th grade Middle School students to foundational leadership concepts, helping them recognize their strengths and begin their journey as future leaders.

  • Workshops and Experiences: Students participate in hands-on workshops, guest speaker events, and real-world culminating projects, allowing them to apply their leadership skills in authentic and impactful ways.

By participating in the Leadership Academy, Sacred Heart Greenwich students are inspired to embrace their unique gifts, take initiative, and lead with purpose, aligning with the Sacred Heart mission to shape individuals of courage and conscience.

 

The Leadership Academy was a perfect capstone for my formative time at Sacred Heart Greenwich to sharpen my skills and take everything that I have learned to the next stage of my life.
