Sacred Heart Private School — Daycare & Preschool in Welland, Ontario

What parents say

• Falon D'souza

  The Sisters and Staff at the school have provided amazing education and care for my son. When he had any issues, they always communicated to us and we worked together. I look forward to enrolling my other children in this school and will do so with the full confidence that the Sister/Staff will provide them with the best.

  Sacred Heart Private School has been the answer to our family's prayers. Rooted in the Catholic faith and upholding high academic standards, the school has helped our children to grow and mature in both their faith life and academics. We are so grateful for the tireless work of the religious sisters and others who assist with the school. The school maintains a beautiful balance between classical literature, religious education/theology, STEM education, physical education, multilingualism (with both French and Latin being offered) and opportunities in the arts (both visual and performing). We feel as though we are part of a school community that is a family and we have no hesitation about recommending this school to others.

  Our family has had a very positive experience at Sacred Heart School. Teachers take the time to know their students and support them through challenges while building on strengths. For a small school, it offers an impressive range of opportunities, including French, Latin, gym, art, extracurricular activities, choir, regular field trips, and weekly Mass, to name a few. We value the partnership between school and home, with parents supported as first educators. Communication has been clear and respectful. While no school is perfect, our experience in the 3 years that we have been at Sacred Heart has been consistently positive. As a parent, I can’t imagine a better place for my children as I see the skills, confidence, and responsibility they are developing each year.

  Choosing Sacred Heart Private School has been one of the most meaningful decisions our family has made. From the moment we became part of this community, it was clear that the school’s purpose extends far beyond academics. Every aspect of the school’s life is ordered toward the formation of the child as a whole person—mind, body, and soul—with a clear orientation toward virtue, service, and eternal truth. The Catholic faith is not treated as an “addition” to learning, but as the foundation upon which everything rests. Instruction is thoughtful, disciplined, and demanding, yet always guided by charity. Students are taught to think deeply, speak clearly, act responsibly, and live faithfully. Whether through engagement with great works of literature, serious theological formation, scientific inquiry, language study, physical development, or artistic expression, the education offered is both rich and integrated. What stands out most is the genuine care given to each student. The religious sisters and dedicated staff know the children personally and guide them with firmness and compassion. Each child is encouraged to grow according to their gifts while being called to a higher standard of character, discipline, and love of God. Sacred Heart also understands that the formation of children is inseparable from the witness of their parents. Families are invited—indeed expected—to participate actively in the life of the school and to model authentic Christian living at home. This shared commitment creates a culture of unity, accountability, and mutual support that is increasingly rare. We have witnessed our children grow not only in knowledge and confidence, but in reverence, humility, and a sincere desire to live their faith. Sacred Heart Private School is forming young people with strong values, well-formed consciences, and hearts set on what truly matters. We are deeply thankful for this community and wholeheartedly recommend it to families seeking an education ordered toward truth, goodness, and holiness.
