'''Sacred Heart Convent School''' is an English language [[Catholic education]] private school for girls run by [[Sisters of the Apostolic Carmel|Apostolic Carmelite nuns]] in the city of [[Jamshedpur]], [[India]]. It is registered under the [[Indian Societies Registration Act]] of 1860 under the title 'The Apostolic Carmel Educational Society'.

The school has grades from [[kindergarten]] to 12th. There are two kindergarten levels, both aimed at preparing the girls for school, the first being similar to a [[Pre-school playgroup|playschool]] rather than emphasising intellectual achievement.

==Admissions==
Students are admitted at the beginning of the school year, in mid-March.{{citation needed|date=March 2016}}

==Academics==
[[Computer science]] is taught as a compulsory subject until grade nine, where students can choose to continue with it or to choose another stream of subjects. The school is equipped with a lab for computer literacy and programming courses. The computer and basic science courses offered at the school include [[GW-BASIC]]; [[Java (programming language)|Java]] (using the [[BlueJ]] [[Integrated development environment|IDE]]); and [[Logo programming language|Logo]]. [[C++]] is an optional course for the Plus Two students wishing to study computer science in college. The standard [[Chemistry]], [[Physics]] and [[Biology]] courses are offered as part of the science curriculum.

The arts and sciences offering at the school are [[Mathematics]] (covering [[geometry]], [[algebra]] and the [[calculus]]); English; [[Hindi]], [[Sanskrit]]; [[Geography]]; [[Environmental Science]]; [[Home Economics]]; [[Political Science]]; Commerce; Economics; and [[Indian History|History]].

As students move from 9th grade to 12th grade, they are allowed more freedom in choosing their classes; they typically opt for a science or commerce related curriculum to facilitate their entrance into college.

Many students struggle with the [[Indian Certificate of Secondary Education|I.C.S.E.]] exams, so the [[National Institute of Open Schooling]] (NIOS) was introduced. This is a program that allows weaker students to prepare for their examination and thus increases their chances of success. Boys and girls of Jamshedpur and other districts have registered for the examination through this school.

==Student life==

Track sports include [[100 m]], [[200 m]], [[400 m]], [[800 m]], [[4x100 m relay|4X100 m Relay]] and [[100 m hurdles]] and the field events are [[discus throw]], [[javelin throw]], and [[shot put]].
