At Flintridge Sacred Heart, we believe a girl must first know herself in order to serve God and others joyfully.
Every day we light the path for each student to pursue truth in her studies- and in her life — as she becomes a courageously curious thinker and the best version of herself.
Because when we do, we unlock her limitless potential to positively impact the world.
