Carrollton was founded in 1961 and is part of the world-wide network of Sacred Heart Schools inspired by the vision of St. Madeleine Sophie Barat who founded the first school of the Sacred Heart in 1801. Since that time, Sacred Heart education has been known for excellence. Madeleine Sophie sought to prepare young women to take their rightful places in the world in which they found themselves, armed with strength of character, intellectual curiosity, and a "lively faith." Our 2010 expansion site, Carrollton is currently home to two full-time staff and 90 students. It is our second expansion into the Coconut Grove community and has been hugely supported and embraced.

“Working with college students who have Breakthrough Collaborative experience is a pleasure. They've experienced first hand the extraordinarily difficult, yet invigorating, challenge of service. The sharing of their own enthusiasm for education with younger students seems to help them become more thoughtful and informed students themselves once they are in college.”
