Carrollton School of the Sacred Heart

Carrollton School of the Sacred Heart is a Catholic day school in Coconut Grove, Florida, enrolling 700 to 1,000 students in pre-K through grade 12. Founded in the tradition of St. Madeleine Sophie Barat's 1800 vision in France, the school belongs to a network of nearly 150 Sacred Heart schools worldwide. That heritage shapes a distinctive teaching culture: lay faculty and religious educators work as peers, each bringing their own lens to daily instruction and student support.

The multi-age structure—pre-K through high school under one mission—creates an unusual advantage for teachers. You see students grow across years rather than in isolated cohorts. Elementary teachers build foundations that middle school colleagues build upon; upper school faculty harvest what came before. That continuity makes teaching more coherent and gives individual faculty members real visibility into their cumulative impact on a learner's trajectory.

Carrollton actively supports language acquisition through Mandarin Chinese, French, and Spanish programs woven throughout the curriculum. Teachers drawn to multilingual pedagogy find genuine infrastructure here, not just language slots in a schedule.

The school hires year-round for classroom teachers across all divisions, subject specialists in middle and upper school, language instructors, and support staff. Roles emerge most frequently as the academic year approaches. Day school employment—with defined working hours and no residential duties—appeals to educators seeking mission-driven work alongside family or other commitments.

For teachers seeking a Catholic independent school environment in south Florida with real collaboration between lay and religious faculty, Carrollton School of the Sacred Heart offers a cohesive community and transparent career path.
