PHILOSPHY
Flintridge Sacred Heart Academy, in keeping with its philosophy, believes strongly that the education provided here enables a graduate to internalize the Gospel values of truth and love, become intelligent, well-prepared young women who, in recognizing their own dignity and giftedness, will reach out to others with a leadership style characterized by justice and integrity, care and compassion. The Admissions Committee makes decisions solely on the basis of an applicant’s strength as demonstrated by a variety of criteria including school performance, standardized testing, co-curricular talents and interests, community service and character. They select applicants who can benefit from and add to the unique, diverse school community “on the hill.” Flintridge has a long-standing goal to make an FSHA education accessible to students from diverse backgrounds with varied interest and talents, regardless of financial means. In order to accomplish this goal, Flintridge offers a financial aid program, tuition payment options as well as information concerning loans from various financial institutions.
