Every opportunity. Every voice. Every role. At Stuart Country Day School of the Sacred Heart, girls lead with confidence, think with purpose, and embrace learning with joy. As Princeton’s only independent, Catholic all-girls school (K–12), with a co-ed Early School (12 months to 4 years old), Stuart is a place where education becomes transformation.
The search for the right school is a meaningful one. At Stuart, we believe girls deserve an education where they are known, challenged, and supported to achieve at the highest level — academically, socially, and spiritually.
Strong Academics. Every aspect of Stuart is crafted to ignite each student’s intellectual passions and meticulously support them on their academic journey. The highly respected faculty are devoted to knowing each student personally and fostering their unique interests and curiosities. Small classes and thought-provoking electives sharpen minds in a supportive, high-achieving environment, inspiring every student to become a lifelong learner.
Girls Centered. The school is tailored to the way girls learn and grow, from course design to socializing. It creates an environment where girls speak up more often, take on more ambitious challenges, and show a higher interest in STEM than in co-ed settings. This commitment to all-girls education is more than just a hunch or tradition — it’s backed by compelling data that proves it’s the best way for smart, strong, joyful girls to flourish.
Sacred Heart Values & a Global Network. Stuart is proud to be an independent Catholic girls’ school and part of the Sacred Heart network, which means the community is guided by a set of values: a personal relationship with faith, lifelong curiosity, social justice, community, and personal growth. These values resonate widely in Stuart’s school community, and they are part of what it means to be a well-rounded, thoughtful, and compassionate adult.
This global network of 150+ Sacred Heart schools gives students extraordinary opportunities to experience the world through exchange trips and cross-cultural learning. The common ground of a Sacred Heart education means students connect quickly with peers in places as varied as Sydney, Australia or New Orleans, Louisiana, diving deeply into new cultures and perspectives.
A Community of Belonging. Stuart welcomes students and families from all backgrounds, faiths, and life experiences. As one of the most diverse independent schools in Princeton, Stuart students engage in discussions on ethics and social justice as part of their curriculum. In this welcoming and inclusive environment, students are encouraged to be themselves, focus on their goals, and lift each other up. It’s no surprise that Stuart graduates go on to college and beyond with high levels of confidence and self-esteem — as well as a tight-knit group of friends for life.
