Sacred Heart
BEYOND THE JO
A world of possibility.
Josephinum students have exciting opportunities to collaborate, serve, and build relationships with students at other Sacred Heart schools through award-winning summer service programs, national and international exchange programs, and leadership workshops.
Learning doesn't stop at the classroom door.
Through the Sacred Heart Network, Josephinum girls are able to connect with young women from across the country and around the world. These experiences invite students to see beyond their own communities, encounter new perspectives, and discover how their gifts can make a difference.
Whether serving others, exploring a new environment, developing leadership skills, or forming friendships across cultures, students return to The Jo with a broader understanding of their place in the world.
