Schools of the Sacred Heart

Schools of the Sacred Heart at Grand Coteau is a Catholic boarding and day school in rural Louisiana, serving approximately 350 students from pre-K through grade 12. The school's mission centers on forming both minds and hearts within a challenging academic environment that honors the Sacred Heart tradition. Faculty work across a unified campus where younger children and college-prep high school students share meals, dormitories, and community life.

Teaching here means encountering the same students in multiple roles—classroom, residence hall, and athletic field. Boarding school faculty live on campus and know each student across contexts. This integrated model distinguishes the school from day-only institutions; the residential component creates closer, more sustained relationships between educators and learners than traditional school structures allow.

The school emphasizes language instruction across all divisions, offering English as an Alternative Language, French, and Spanish. This multilingual focus opens teaching opportunities in language development for younger learners and advanced proficiency work in the upper school. Faculty in all subjects engage the school's commitment to innovative academics while maintaining Catholic educational values.

Schools of the Sacred Heart hires year-round for classroom teaching, language instruction, residential life staff, and administrative roles across all divisions. Spring and early summer bring concentrated hiring ahead of the academic year. The location in Grand Coteau positions faculty in a quiet rural setting with access to larger Louisiana cities.

For educators seeking boarding school immersion, Catholic community, and work across the full age span on one campus, this school offers a distinctive Louisiana setting.
