Sacred Heart Cathedral School is committed to delivering a comprehensive and progressive academic program that meets the needs of all of our students. Our curriculum is designed to prepare students for high school and beyond.

SHCS is a member of the National Catholic Education Association (NCEA) and accredited by:

• Tennessee Department of Education
• Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS)
• Roman Catholic Diocese of Knoxville
  

Our school is on a semester system with two quarters per semester. The daily schedule begins at 7:55 AM and ends at 3:05 PM for grades 1-4 and 3:25 PM for grades 5-8. The Kindergarten day begins at 7:55 AM and concludes at 2:00 PM.

Middle school students attend six classes per day and an enrichment class is offered one day per week to enhance the standard curriculum. Grades 6-8 use a rotating schedule system for an optimum learning environment.

There are study rooms from 3:05p.m. to 3:25p.m. for younger students that need to wait for an older sibling or carpool. There is also after-school care from 3:05p.m. to 6:00p.m. offered through our Young Folks program.

SHCS uses ParentsWeb, an online communication system, to provide course information, grades and daily assignments to parents.
