ABOUT
At Sacred Heart Elementary we aim for excellence in education and endeavour to meet the unique needs of every student. Guided by our Catholic faith, and supported by the fabric of family and community, we are committed to meeting the spiritual, academic, physical, and emotional needs of individual students. Within a learning environment that is both stimulating and supportive, we foster in our students a love of learning, a strong work ethic, and provide them with a solid academic foundation. It is our hope that when students graduate from Sacred Heart, they leave with a strong moral compass and the self-confidence to meet all of life's challenges head on.
Our school is in the city of Delta, BC, near a variety of attractions and sites, including Brunswick Point Trail, Ladner Harbour Park, Centennial Beach, and Tsawwassen Mills outlet mall.
