The Advantages of an All-Girls Education at Flintridge Sacred Heart Academy

Flintridge Sacred Heart Academy (FSHA) provides an all-girls education that empowers young women to excel academically, develop leadership skills, and grow with confidence.

Flintridge Sacred Heart Academy is a place where girls are empowered to achieve their full potential. As one of the premier all-girls Catholic schools, it offers an educational environment that fosters intellectual growth, leadership, and self-discovery. Research consistently shows that girls in single-sex schools, like FSHA, experience greater academic engagement, enhanced leadership development, and a stronger sense of purpose, all of which prepare them for success in university and beyond.

“When girls are at the heart of an educational environment that allows them to freely explore their passions, the opportunity for transformative growth is extraordinary,” says Principal Rebecca Bostic. “At Flintridge Sacred Heart Academy, we celebrate and support each girl for who she is. In our all-girls school, students are empowered to discover their voice and pursue their passions, where the limitless possibilities for women to change the world are celebrated every day,” added Bostic.

At FSHA, students are encouraged to explore their passions and develop their unique voices in an environment designed for growth. This empowerment is rooted in our core values of truth, integrity, and faith, guiding each student to face the challenges and opportunities of higher education with confidence. Our alumnae enter university not only with strong academic foundations but also with the leadership skills and self-assurance to make meaningful contributions to their communities.

The all-girls setting at FSHA provides a unique opportunity for students to focus on their intellectual and personal growth, free from distractions or social pressures. Whether scholars, artists, or athletes, FSHA students thrive in a supportive community that allows them to embrace their authentic selves fully.

The school has been renovated to enhance the learning experience with modern classrooms, faculty spaces, and a welcoming entrance. This renovation reflects its ongoing commitment to excellence and innovation, ensuring that future generations of students continue to benefit from state-of-the-art facilities.

And for the first time in its 93-year legacy, President Marlena Conroy, a lay leader, is bringing with her a vision for the future of all-girls education. Marlena’s leadership marks a significant and exciting step forward, honoring the Dominican charism that has shaped our community while embracing the opportunities of tomorrow.

“Together, we will continue to foster a vibrant, globally aware, and compassionate community, upholding the Dominican legacy of excellence that defines Flintridge Sacred Heart Academy,” said President Marlena Conroy. Her passion for Catholic education and her forward-thinking vision ensure that FSHA will remain a leader in all-girls education for years to come.
