Why All-Girls?

The benefit of an all-girls education in Princeton, NJ

The world is better when girls lead. We've built a school around that truth.

Girls in single-sex learning environments speak up more often, take on more ambitious challenges, and pursue STEM fields at six times the rate of their coed peers. Our faculty know how girls learn. They know them by name, by strength, by ambition. And because every leadership role, every lab partnership, every seat at the table belongs to a girl, our students never learn to wait their turn. They learn to take it. Stuart girls graduate with higher levels of confidence, stronger academic skills, and a clearer sense of who they are and what they're capable of.

Stuart is a proud member of the International Coalition of Girls' Schools, a global network of more than 580 schools across 25 countries dedicated to advancing girls' education.
