At Flintridge Sacred Heart Academy, we invite students to be courageously curious thinkers who pursue truth in their studies — and in life. As an all-girls, international, Catholic, Dominican school, FSHA is committed to educating students within a supportive community alongside a challenging college-preparatory curriculum. Here, young women are empowered to flourish with confidence, purpose, and integrity—prepared to lead meaningful lives and make a lasting impact on the world. 

Rooted in our Dominican commitment to Veritas—the pursuit of truth—Flintridge Sacred Heart Academy’s four-year Research Program prepares students for the rigor of college-level scholarship. Beginning with curiosity, students connect personal interests to academic inquiry while building essential skills in research, analysis, and ethical use of sources.

Through a scaffolded, inquiry-based approach, students learn to question, evaluate, and synthesize information with confidence. By senior year, they emerge as thoughtful scholars—ready to succeed in college and contribute meaningfully to the world.

At FSHA, athletics empower students to build confidence, teamwork, and resilience—on and off the field. With 70% of students participating, our programs offer a wide range of sports, coaching excellence, and opportunities to challenge yourself while embracing school spirit.

Through visual and performing arts, students grow in creativity, confidence, and empathy within a vibrant, faith-filled community.

Whether in the studio or on stage, students are challenged to explore their talents, take artistic risks, and refine their craft. Rooted in both tradition and innovation, the program nurtures the habits of mind and heart that bring ideas to life.

On the Hill, imagination is not just encouraged—it is cultivated with purpose. Through dedication, collaboration, and joyful expression, FSHA artists transform their passions into something meaningful, shaping dreams into reality.

Our Global & Immersion Program empowers students to engage with the world as thoughtful, compassionate leaders. Through our membership in Round Square, students experience the IDEALS of leadership, service, internationalism, and experiential learning in action.

From international conferences and cultural exchanges to global service trips, FSHA students step beyond the classroom to explore new perspectives and deepen their understanding of our interconnected world. On the Hill and across the globe, they grow as confident, globally minded young women—ready to lead with purpose.

Our Boarding program is a signature program that empowers students to thrive both personally and socially. Rooted in research and best practices, it equips students with essential life skills—from self-management and healthy relationships to wellness, leadership, and practical everyday skills like budgeting or cooking.

Guided by dorm parents, counselors, teachers, and expert partners, students participate in a holistic program that extends learning beyond the classroom and into evenings and weekends. Focused on community, spirituality, education and awareness, and leadership, FSHA residential life fosters belonging, independence, and confidence—preparing our young women to flourish in school and in life.

The Residential Life Curriculum reflects a distinctive, comprehensive, and intentional approach to student development that goes beyond academics. It embodies the school’s commitment to nurturing the whole student—socially, emotionally, and morally—while providing a unique residential experience.
