Applying to Lower School
Admissions Events
We look forward to meeting you! Please join us at one of our upcoming Admission Events to see what distinguishes Sacred Heart Academy Bryn Mawr (SHA) from other schools. We're confident that you'll be inspired by our academic programs with a global perspective, the values that play out in everyday life on the hill, personal attention (1:7 teacher:student ratio), beautiful campus, and incredibly warm community.
Online Application
The MySHA Portal will serve as your admissions portal enabling you to stay updated with your Admissions Checklist and Admissions status. Parents/guardians will be asked to create an account when you begin your daughter’s application.
Academic Records
The Release of Records Form, located on the MySHA portal Checklist, authorizes your daughter’s current school to release her records to SHA. Please complete this form and give it to your daughter’s current school; her records will be sent directly to SHA and are kept confidential. Records should not be uploaded by parents.
Teacher Recommendation
Located on the MySHA portal Checklist, parents/guardians are asked to provide an electronic Teacher Recommendation Form to your daughter’s current homeroom teacher. The recommendation form will be sent directly to Sacred Heart Academy, and the contents will be kept confidential. By submitting the request, you accept our confidentiality agreement.
Parent Interview
Parents/guardians of applicants are required to complete a parent interview prior to your daughter's SHA for a Day Shadow Visit. This conversation will give you an opportunity to learn more about our curriculum, ask questions, and tell us more about your daughter.
Student Learning Assessment
Once we have received all admission documentation, applicants must complete a student learning assessment, which provides a comfortable and informative introduction to SHA and our teachers, while engaging the girls in activities. Assessments will be performed by the classroom teacher during your daughter's SHA for a Day visit.
Visit Days
There is no better way to experience SHA than spending the school day with us! Your daughter will enjoy amazing student-teacher interactions as well as the warmth and welcome of our students. We look forward to scheduling this important visit with you.
