With small class sizes, a student-to-faculty ratio of 7:1, and a comprehensive advisory program, Stuart Hall School offers an enriching program in which students grow into ethical, globally engaged adults, ready to make meaningful contributions to the world around them.
If this sounds like the school where your child might thrive, we encourage you to get in touch with us, schedule a visit, or begin your application. Our admission team is here to help you at every step of the application process! Stuart Hall School is now accepting boarding and day applications for the 2025-26 school year.
See What Makes Stuart Hall Special
I consider Stuart Hall to be set apart from other educational options because there is a high academic bar that also fosters curiosity and a love for learning. We appreciate the attention to matters of high character as well as respect for others, always doing your best, etc. - Monica, Ben, and Maryanne '29
Winter Open House at Stuart Hall
An Open House at Stuart Hall is less about presentations and more about connection. On February 9, families are invited to spend the morning on campus, meet the people who make Stuart Hall what it is, and experience the life of a school where students are truly known. You’ll visit classes, talk with faculty and students, and hear directly from our admissions team about how Stuart Hall supports both academic growth and personal development.
Our Winter Open House is an opportunity to ask thoughtful questions, see learning in action, and decide whether this community feels like the right fit for your child and your family.
