Of all the ingredients that go into Divine Heart, none has as large part in student life as Academics. For 1050 hours a year, every students works, is worked on, and is overworked to the point of exhaustion. The classes are difficult, but somehow a friendship develops between student and techer. This place isn't all fun and games after all. Bombarded by lectures , buried in stacks of English books, and burdened by algebraic formulas, my head spins with the complexity of it all. Shuffled from classroom to classroom, confusion reigns for the first week of my new existence. Suddenly, however, I discover that the problems are solvable. The teachers and religious make an incredible transformation to become people I can trust and talk to. This is the uniqueness of Divine Heart. Nine o'clock to five o'clock people develop an existence in my mind. My classmates become friends, and friends become very good friends . The exams are hectic, and the schedules are crowded, but the life isn't entirely work. Where else can you go to find teachers that are people?
