Academy of the Sacred Heart (New Jersey)

Academy of the Sacred Heart was a Catholic school in Hoboken, New Jersey. Before its closure it was a high school for girls; it had circa 160 students in 2003.[1]

It was established as a coeducational day school, with a ten-slot boarding facility for students resident in New York State, in 1868. It at first had a frame building but later it occupied 713 Washington,[2] where it remained for the remainder of its life. Its building later had an expansion.[2]

In 2006 it merged with Academy of St. Aloysius to form Caritas Academy,[3] with St. Aloysius hosting the merged school, which closed in 2008.[4]

In 2010 Hoboken Charter School moved its K-8 students into the former academy building.[5]
