[WEBINAR]: Stuart Athletics and the Scholar Athlete

[WEBINAR]: Stuart Athletics and the Scholar Athlete

At Stuart, we believe in empowering girls to lead lives committed to physical wellness and personal growth. Stuart Athletics focuses on values such as teamwork, leadership, and resilience – nurturing each student to build confidence and character that extends well beyond the game. We encourage every athlete to set ambitious goals, embrace challenges, and celebrate both their achievements and the lessons learned from competition. 

In a recent webinar, Director of Enrollment Hillary Nastro spoke with Interim Director of Athletics Missy Bruvik, Head of Upper School Dr. Marissa Muoio, and two student-athletes, Maya and Emily about opportunities in Stuart Athletics, how sports shape leadership skills, and the ways our students balance academics, sports, and other passions.
