Admission

SHA is known for its prestigious reputation and second-to-none programs, such as our Advanced Healing, Advanced Magic, and Sacred Object Studies courses. SHA also has a reputation for housing royalty; the current king, King Torment, is an alumnus, as well as his father and grandfather before him. Now our great leaders' sons are attending and excelling in our programs.

Our admission team works tirelessly during the enrollment period to sift through every application and entrance essay to ensure that each student admitted has what it takes to be a Gryphon.

Each year, fewer than 1,800 students are admitted into Sacred Heart Academy due to our exclusivity and lust for excellence. SHA has an admission quota for each grade level:
