Sacred Heart Convent School is an English language Catholic Education private school for girl run by 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 (Plus Two). There are two kindergarten levels, both aimed at preparing the girls for school, the first being similar to a playschool rather than emphasising intellectual achievement. ==History== Sacred Heart Convent School was founded on 14 January 1945. The school building was completed in 1951 and is still in use today, although renovated. Although the school is run by the Sisters of the Apostolic Carmel, it is open to young ladies of all faiths. The school is affiliated with the Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations in New Delhi and also offers the ''Plus Two'' (12th grade) Course in Arts, Science and Commerce. The school was founded when the world was facing World War II. Jamshedpur was considered a war zone.
