Teaching and Staff Jobs at Academy of the Sacred Heart

Academy of the Sacred Heart in New Orleans serves 700 to 1,000 students across pre-school through high school, making it one of the city's larger independent schools. The school is rooted in the Catholic tradition of the Religious of the Sacred Heart, a charism that shapes how faculty approach teaching, mentorship, and community life.

What distinguishes Academy of the Sacred Heart is its "Formation to Mission" framework. Rather than treating professional development as a checkbox, the school weaves ongoing formation into the fabric of daily work. All faculty and staff engage in intentional activities designed to deepen their understanding of Sacred Heart values and educational practices. This means teachers develop not just as subject-matter experts, but as educators aligned with a specific intellectual and spiritual tradition. For candidates drawn to schools with a coherent educational philosophy, this stands out.

The school's curriculum includes a French language program, reflecting both its heritage and commitment to multilingual literacy. This opens opportunities for French specialists and creates distinctive teaching contexts across grade levels.

Academy of the Sacred Heart hires across pre-school, elementary, middle, and high school divisions for classroom teachers, specialists, and administrative roles. As a day school, positions are structured around the traditional academic calendar without the residential component of boarding institutions. That makes the school accessible to educators prioritizing work-life balance in a vibrant urban setting.

For educators seeking a Catholic independent school where professional formation is systematic and tied to a recognizable mission, Academy of the Sacred Heart offers both stability and intellectual engagement.
