History
The Sacred Heart School was established in 1924, when a simple building was rented in the Ibrahimiyya area to provide educational services to the girls of Alexandria. The school's nuns made their own efforts to prepare the building to be suitable for study, and after a short period, the number of female students increased due to the school's distinctive service and high level of performance.
Over time, with this building located directly in front of the sea, the building needed maintenance every year to the point that the nuns in the winter days would move the sleeping beds from one place to another due to rainwater leaking from the windows, and due to special circumstances, the owner of the building wanted to sell it, so the nuns had to search for another alternative place, in order to provide educational services to girls in the past
In March 1955, the school was officially transferred from Al-Ibrahimiya to the Rushdi area. The number of nuns at that time was 25, but their number decreased nowadays to only two nuns.
