Upper School Director of Science Research and Science Teacher

Sacred Heart Greenwich has been empowering girls and young women since 1848 in a stimulating and developmentally appropriate educational environment in accordance with the Goals and Criteria of a Sacred Heart education.

This mission provides opportunities to develop spiritual, cognitive, social, emotional, and physical skills. Sacred Heart Greenwich integrates technology into the learning process through enhanced collaboration, exploration, discovery, and creativity.

We aim to form students of faith, intellect, and awareness, who will use their gifts in service to others. Relationships and mentoring are at the heart of the student experience, which is grounded in inquiry, problem-solving, interdisciplinary connection, collaboration, and an understanding of social justice.

Student leadership and well-being are connected to every academic discipline, as all full-time teachers are also grade-level advisors.

The school offers a coed program for young children at the Barat Center for Early Childhood Education and then an all-girls experience from K-12 on our 110-acre campus in Greenwich, Connecticut. We are proudly part of the Network of Sacred Heart Schools.
