At Stuart Hall, we understand and celebrate boys.
It’s science. Boys learn differently.
There is extensive research into the way that boys and girls learn, and it is now evident that boys and girls do learn differently for biological and educational reasons.
Boys learn best through movement, hands-on activities, spatial and visual experiences, play, and cooperative assignments. An all-boys environment helps to foster lifelong friendships and form a brotherhood among classmates.
Stuart Hall is a school built for boys and designed to help them thrive.
-
Preschool
At the Preschool level, Stuart Hall focuses on learning through discovery, offering hands-on experiences that foster a love of learning. Opportunities for emotional and social development are emphasized through center-based thematic units, which allow the boys to work both collaboratively with their peers and in small groups with strong teacher-to-student ratios.
-
Lower School
Creativity and intellectual curiosity are encouraged within a strong academic framework in the Lower School. All of the programs are enhanced by enrichment classes in art, library/tech, music, physical education, Tinker Lab, Science Lab, social emotional learning, and French.
-
Middle School
The Middle School experience is both challenging and purposeful. Designed to meet the unique developmental needs of boys during these formative years. While rigorous academics remain at the core, the program emphasizes the continued development of essential skills alongside a growing focus on higher-order thinking.
A training ground for servant leaders.
In the classrooms, halls, and grounds of the school's Uptown campus, boys become leaders — in school, their homes, their careers, and their communities. The school's structure and mission foster an environment that values both character formation and academic rigor. Stuart Hall holds this high standard of behavior to encourage the transformation of boys into young men.
Boys are encouraged to discover their unique gifts, cultivate a strong sense of self-worth, and develop their competence. Stuart Hall challenges each boy to use all of his gifts wisely and to accept responsibility for his actions. Boys attend enrichment classes in French, Spanish, Latin, religion, counseling, art, library tech, music, STEM, Tinker Lab, Financial Literacy, and physical education.
Stuart Hall immerses boys in a supportive, character-based culture that fosters their growth both inside and outside the classroom. From our boy-centered curriculum to our supportive atmosphere to the breadth of extracurricular, athletic, and after-school activities, Stuart Hall’s focus on formation produces young men of character, integrity, and boundless capability.
The Stuart Hall experience is about the formation of the entire boy. It’s about eye contact and a firm handshake. It’s about building a foundation for a life centered on a love for learning, a desire to help others, and a commitment to Gospel values. It’s about teaching boys to be Kind, Courteous, Respectful, and Responsible.
