CONVENT & STUART HALL Student / Parent High School Handbook 2016­2017 Convent & Stuart Hall reserves the right to make changes to the Student/Parent Handbook during the school year. The handbook has been written in good faith to be as comprehensive as possible, and is intended to be a guide in regard to a majority of issues; however it cannot predict all issues that may arise in the school year and therefore it does not supersede good judgment or formation of consequences. Please note that there is an important document at the end of the handbook that requires student and parent signatures: the Student/Parent Handbook 2016­2017 Signature Form. Please ensure that you read the handbook in its entirety and return the signed form by Friday, August 19, 2016. 1 Table of Contents History & Guiding Principles History.

She responded to the educational needs that followed in the wake of the religious, intellectual, political, and social upheaval of the French Revolution. In its subsequent development as an order, now associated with some 200 schools and colleges throughout the world, the Society has remained dedicated to the education of young men and women. Adapting its programs to the requirements of specific times and places, the Society maintains its concern with “the value of the student as a person growing into full Christian participation in a democratic society.” Convent of the Sacred Heart High School is part of the Schools of the Sacred Heart which were founded in San Francisco by the Religious of the Sacred Heart in 1887. The first schools established were for the purpose of educating young women. In 1956, however, responding to the pleas of parents for equal opportunity for Sacred Heart education for their sons, Stuart Hall for Boys, K­8, joined the complex. Stuart Hall was named after Janet Erskine Stuart, R.S.C.J., a world­renowned English educator and a woman of deep faith. Stuart Hall High School, offering a college preparatory education for young men, was established in 2000, completing the K­12 program for Sacred Heart education in San Francisco.

Over 20 years ago, in an effort to best serve students and families during the admission process, the Bay Area Admission Directors developed a set of Principles of Good Practice. These Principles encourage mutual respect among the member schools and support practices, activities, and events that are student-centered and age appropriate for our applicants. The Bay Area Admission Directors believe that applicants deserve to be apprised of these Principles of Good Practice agreed upon by the Bay Area independent high schools. A summary of the Principles is therefore listed below.
