A healthy mind in a healthy body

The College and the Aledo area offer you a program of activities to spend your free leisure time. From down-hill skiing in the winter to water skiing on the Mississippi river in the summer, two golf courses, horse-back riding, indoor and outdoor swimming pools, fields for football, baseball, soccer and many other ball sports. A museum, a variety of restaurants, stores and antique shops, as well as one of America’s most typical landscapes invite you to pass a fulfilling time!  

A college built on tradition

Niles Hall and North Hall are the two remaining buildings of the historic William & Vashti College Campus, founded in Aledo in 1907, later used as the Roosevelt Military Academy. Sacre Coeur Heartland Centre today builds on this important foundation of a Teaching and Learning Tradition.

College and community go hand in hand in welcoming students from all over the world, thus taking part in the move towards a worldwide integration of nations in an era of globalization and international cooperation.  The one main reason to come to study in Aledo is to meet the people of this community in Mercer County. Get to know them and you will have a great time!
