At Stuart Hall, learning is about more than grades—it's about growth. Our Mastery Learning approach equips students with the skills to think critically, communicate effectively, and solve real-world problems.

From the foundations of critical thinking to the creativity required for innovation, our academic program equips students with the self-awareness, motivation, and independence needed to excel in higher education and beyond.

Students take ownership of their education, applying knowledge to real-world problems and honing their abilities through feedback, revision, and practice.

Teachers, advisors, and coaches take the time to know each student as an individual, offering personalized feedback and encouragement every step of the way.

“STU has prepared me for college in a multitude of ways, from living across the world from my parents to having a lot more responsibilities. STU has done a great job preparing me for my future.

"There are many reasons I love Stuart Hall, but the main one is the teachers and the connections you get to make with them. Because we are such a small and intimate school, you can get to know your teachers and even become friends with them. The co-curricular program also helps with that, since you can see what interests your teachers have that you may not have known about in the past.

"I am most thankful for the atmosphere at Stuart Hall.  Even though I am not a boarder, this school feels like a second home.

“At Stuart Hall, I have embraced the truest version of myself. I play Chinese lute in the contemporary music ensemble, and it is a true privilege to collaborate with my talented peers and to be guided by our amazing teachers.

"STU has prepared me for college in a multitude of ways, from living across the world from my parents to having a lot more responsibilities.  STU has done a great job preparing me for my future."

“At STU, I have met people from all over the world, which has taught me how to connect and build lifelong friendships with people from completely different backgrounds.

"The opportunities at Stuart Hall for students and as a teacher are vastly different than my experience teaching in public schools. Stuart Hall’s project-based, place-based learning has allowed me to explore different ways of teaching.

“"My primary goal in teaching is to have students think critically about the issues facing their world. We read and discuss significant documents spanning history, government, and philosophy. From recent Supreme Court opinions to the dialogues of Plato, my students engage the challenging ideas that will enable them to excel in a dynamic and ever-changing world."

"We don't just cover content here at Stuart Hall, we're actively building a community and giving students the tools they need to become productive members of modern society. My greatest joy as a teacher is to inspire students to become independent thinkers, ready and able to make a thoughtful impact on the world around them.

“My child has loved having such a diverse and tight knit community since she started kindergarten at STU. This has taught her to see the world globally and accept those that may have different interests and beliefs than her. This community has taught her to work with others to tackle real world problems and how to roll with what the world throws at them.

“The heart and soul of Stuart Hall is that the School provides a caring community while also providing educational excellence."

“My sons attend Stuart Hall because the quality of education I know they are receiving, and the strong sense of community that the School creates.

“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.

“I love the personal interest the teachers take in my child not just as a student, but as a complex individual with passions, talents, emotions, and lots of potential.

“We wanted a school that had opportunities for well-rounded students, intimate classroom environments with individualized attention, and an environment that was global and still cozy too. Stuart Hall is all of those things for us (and now Miles prefers to do his own laundry when he comes home too, which is a secret bonus)!
