Sacred Heart is located in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania and consists of a Lower, Middle, and Upper School with approximately 300 in enrollment. The school is a member of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Philadelphia.

Country Day School of the Sacred Heart, Bryn Mawr is an independent, Catholic college-preparatory K-12 school for girls and has been in continuous operation for over 150 years. Sacred Heart is committed to serving all families who wish their daughters to receive an excellent academic, values-based education that fosters growth in mind, body, and spirit. The ethos of the school is grounded in the Sacred Heart commitment to educate to:
a personal and active faith in God; to a deep respect for intellectual values; to a social awareness which impels to action; to the building of community as a Christian value; and to personal growth in an atmosphere of wise freedom.
Schools of the Sacred Heart commit themselves to the vision created 200 years ago by Saint Madeleine Sophie Barat, founder of the Society of the Sacred Heart.
