Buffalo Academy of the Sacred Heart was founded in 1877 by the Sisters of St. Francis of Penance and Christian Charity. Looking beyond the common practice of limiting a girl's schooling to domestic skills, the Sisters sought to educate young women in the humanities, arts and sciences, while providing religious instruction and developing strong moral character in their students.
From the beginning, the Sisters set a standard of excellence, continually making groundbreaking innovations to meet the educational needs of their students. The Sisters began teaching high school classes to 15 students in their convent on Washington Street in downtown Buffalo. The State Education Department of New York officially recognized the high school for young women in 1889, and issued a permanent charter of education in 1895.

Fantastic Induction Process!
“Our daughter has recently started school at Sacred Heart and we have enjoyed a really happy, positive start to school life! The way in which the school’s carefully planned induction process works is gradual, but progressive, providing a smooth transition into school life, taking children from their pre-summer holiday induction sessions through to full time schooling with ease.
The steady steps start with two 2 hour induction sessions before the summer holidays: (the first where parents stay for a coffee and a chat with other parents – helping to ease our nerves
