Favrot Arts and Athletics Center
Athletics are an integral part of the overall curriculum at the Academy of the Sacred Heart where students from all divisions engage in a wide variety of athletic pursuits. The opening of our new, state-of-the-art Athletic Center allows us to expand our existing programs and offer our girls an outstanding venue in which to play and compete. The 27,000 square foot, two-level complex will support our athletic, physical education, and wellness programs, all of which contribute to a comprehensive learning experience. The tremendous value of athletic participation for girls has been well documented.

The School feels that an education in the arts has been proven to enhance a student’s intellectual, personal and social development and to nurture creativity. By providing a rich and engaging curriculum, arts education develops a student’s abilities to think, reason, and understand the world and its cultures.
