Greetings, and welcome to Stuart Hall! Since its founding in 1844, Stuart Hall has provided an excellent liberal arts education and has endeavored to develop the character and personal honor of every student. I have been fortunate to be a part of the Stuart Hall community since 2019, when I arrived with my family to become the new Dean of Students & Campus Life. I am thrilled to now serve as Head of School, and I look forward to continuing the school’s storied traditions into its 179th year and beyond.

When my family and I arrived three years ago, we were quickly embraced by this community, and I have since seen that our experience was not unique. This is truly a welcoming and inclusive environment to live, learn, and work, and we are delighted to share more about who we are and why we have been the school of choice for so many students over the years.

When I was seventeen years old, I had the opportunity to attend a boarding school, and it was a transformational experience that set me on a path that has me in my twenty-third year in education. Attending a boarding school means working with teachers who know far more about you than how you’re doing in their classes, and this means they can offer the level of support and care you need as a person, not just as a student. Attending a boarding school also means becoming immersed in an educational experience that extends far beyond the classroom door. The friendships you form, the empathy you develop, and the self-awareness you gain through such an experience will be with you for the rest of your life. 

Perhaps the best part is that you don’t have to be a boarding student to reap the benefits of attending a boarding school. Day students become every bit as present and involved as boarding students. As a boarding and day school serving grades 6-12, the same mentality and opportunity filter down to our middle school students. When you combine the boarding school lifestyle with a welcoming and inclusive environment, you get a truly special place, and that is exactly what Stuart Hall is. 

Whether you are visiting to learn about the school as you consider applying or you are an alumna/us returning to check in on your alma mater, I know you will find Stuart Hall’s commitment to developing lives of intellectual curiosity, creativity, and contribution reflected in everything we do. I invite you to reach out or visit campus to learn more. We are proud of who we are and what we do, and we look forward to sharing it with you. 

Regards,

Jason Coady 
Head of School
