As the only all-girls school in Princeton, New Jersey, Stuart Country Day School of the Sacred Heart is uniquely positioned to provide an environment where girls put academics first, are willing and able to take risks, and explore every opportunity. Our challenging curriculum takes advantage of the way girls learn in the STEM fields of science, technology, engineering and math—as well as the arts, humanities, and athletics. Stuart enrolls girls in JK-12, and has a co-ed Early Childhood Program. 

Stuart was founded in 1963 by parents who wanted a faith-based and rigorous education for their daughters. They appealed to the Religious of the Sacred Heart to open a school that welcomes and embraces students of all faiths and backgrounds. Today, Stuart continues to thrive on the same foundational principals of faith, knowledge, social justice, community, and personal growth.

Our beautiful campus was designed by Professor Jean Labatut, who was director of graduate studies in architecture at Princeton University in 1963. A little known fact is that renowned Princeton architect J. Robert Hillier was a student of Labatut’s at Princeton, and as a young graduate he served as Labatut’s designer/drafter on the Stuart project.

The architecture of Stuart is very special. Carefully situated on 55 wooded acres in the Princeton Ridge, our building is designed to meld into the space and nature of the surroundings. With floor-to-ceiling windows, hallways and classrooms look out into wooded areas, and boulders strewn throughout the building and the grounds help to blur the lines between the inside and outdoors. We like to say it’s a, “peaceful place for girls to make some noise.”
