The Academy of the Sacred Heart, founded in 1821 in Grand Coteau, Louisiana, is a Catholic, independent school for girls in Pre-Kindergarten-3 through grade twelve, with residential accommodations for students in grades seven through twelve. The Academy is the only single-gender choice in the Acadiana area.

The Academy is accredited by the Independent Schools Association of the Southwest (ISAS). ISAS is a voluntary membership association of private schools. The Association was founded in 1955 and incorporated not-for-profit in 1970. The membership of ISAS consists of 81 schools located in Arizona, Kansas, Louisiana, Mexico, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas enrolling over 44,000 students.

A central purpose of ISAS is to encourage, support and develop the highest standard for independent schools of the region and to recognize by formal accreditation those schools in which these standards are maintained. Membership in the Association carries with it ISAS accreditation. No school may be a member of ISAS without submitting itself to the demanding ISAS accreditation process. Each member must provide the Association documentation of the school’s adherence to the ISAS Standards for Membership. For additional information regarding ISAS, please visit their website www.isasw.org.
