Sacred Heart School of Halifax

An outstanding education is expensive, and we know it’s worth every penny. So don’t let the cost of tuition stop you. We are seriously committed to ensuring no student who is mission-appropriate is denied a spot simply because of financial means. We use a combination of academic scholarships and bursary support to make a Sacred Heart education affordable. Scholarships are merited by mission-appropriate Senior School students, whereas bursary support, where most of our financial support is directed, is based on demonstrated financial need and available to students in grades Primary-12. Current SHSH families and new families whose child is accepted and enrolled can apply for tuition assistance through our bursary program. Bursary program applications can be completed through our external partner, Apple Financial Services.
