Exchange Study Programs
Connecting Stuart Girls Worldwide
As a Sacred Heart Network school, Stuart offers a unique opportunity for Upper School students to participate in Exchange Study programs. Two programs, offered on a biannual basis, connect students with others being educated in the Sacred Heart tradition.
International Exchange Program
Our International Exchange program links students with girls studying in French- and Spanish-speaking Sacred Heart schools in Europe or South America. Students spend time living with a host family, attending classes at the host school and touring major sites of the country. In exchange, Stuart hosts students from those same schools. The guest students are integrated into the Upper School in the same way our students are abroad. The result is an enriching experience both socially and academically.
Individual exchanges are also available with other international Sacred Heart schools around the world. Students have recently traveled to Scotland, Australia, Spain and Canada.
Sacred Heart Exchange Program
Upper School students also have the option to participate in the national exchange program offered through the Sacred Heart Network. This program offers students an opportunity to broaden their horizons socially and academically by sharing the life of other Sacred Heart students throughout the 21 member Network schools in the U.S. They follow their course of study as they would at home, and may also be involved in programs at their host school. Students may live as boarding students, or with host families if they are visiting a day school. Exchanges can last for a few weeks or as long as a trimester.
