Additional note from Daniel Page:
Sacred Heart Academy is one of the most exciting places to teach and make music with children in the United States. Our K-4 music curriculum is rooted firmly in systematic Ward Method training. Our middle-school students use this foundation to become skilled, prayerful singers of Gregorian chant and polyphony. Our newly-established high school includes instruction in choral music, liturgical music history and theology, and general music history and theory. Every school day begins with Mass, which is sung with chant propers on Tuesdays, Thursday, feasts, and solemnities. Our headmaster, provost (academic dean), director of sacred music, and director of religious education work together closely--and with the strong support and guidance of our pastor--to integrate all elements of our classical, deeply Catholic curriculum, with music as a core element. In short, we are focused intensely on the truth, goodness, and beauty created by God and offered to the world by Christ through His Church. Please consider joining us in this joyous mission!
