Question 4

Is before-school and after-school care available?

Accepted Answer

We are pleased to announce that before and after-school care is available right next door to Sacred Heart Academy. The centre hours are from 6:15 am to 6:30 pm. SHA teachers will be able to walk your child(ren) over to the after-school program at the end of our school day at the Academy.

For more information, contact Melissa at EduKids at 905-576-4677 or by emailing MelissaMitton@edukids.ca

Note that EduKids is not affiliated or associated with Sacred Heart Academy. Families will need to make their own separate arrangements with the centre for before and/or after-school care.

Question 5

We would love our children to attend Sacred Heart Academy, but have financial constraints. What options are available to us?

Accepted Answer

In case of need, families have the option of paying their tuition in 2 yearly installments (September and January) or even 10 monthly installments (first of the month), by post-dated cheque.

As well, some families have found assistance through their parish Knights of Columbus, Catholic Women's League or other such group. SHA would be happy to provide letters or information to these groups in support of your request for financial assistance.

We don't want to turn families away for financial reasons, so do reach out to us at info@sacredheartdurham.com and we can continue the conversation about options.
