Stuart Country Day School of the Sacred Heart was founded in 1963 by several Princeton women who sought to establish an all-girl school affiliated with the Society of the Sacred Heart. The school is unique in that it was founded by women for the purpose of educating young women and girls. Three distinctive traits are the bedrock of a Stuart education:
- Stuart students are educated in an all girl environment. Faculty teach to the girls’ strengths, giving them the freedom to learn from distraction and the ability to express themselves freely.
- Stuart is a member of the national and international network of Sacred Heart schools—designed to educate the whole child, inspire academic excellence, develop a strong sense of community and encourage a lifetime commitment to learning and service.
- Stuart educates to the Five Goals of Sacred Heart education.
Now in its fifth decade, Stuart continues in its commitment to perpetuate the original vision and spirit of Saint Madeleine Sophie Barat, foundress of the Sacred Heart order.
