The Sacred Heart of Jesus Private School was established in 1994 by a group of Catholic homeschooling families desiring fellowship and support for the unique needs of Catholic homeschoolers. We are a non-traditional private school for students in grades 1 through 12, and enrollment is open to Catholic homeschoolers who reside in Lee County.  If you reside outside of Lee County, you may participate in most of our activities by joining our support group. We have many experienced homeschooling families in our school, and along with the Board of Directors, we are here to offer guidance and support as you home educate your children. Our goal is to be supportive without being intrusive. We maintain that it is the God-given right of parents to educate their children.
