Meet Doane Stuart's Interim Head of School

In September 2012, the  Board of Trustees of the Doane Stuart School  announced the appointment of Mrs. Lisa F. Brown as Interim Head of School.

An independent school teacher, parent,  administrator and trustee over the past thirty years, Lisa has been a teacher and administrator at Doane Stuart since 1988. As Associate Head of School since 2000, she has worked with each department of the school and  has overseen each academic division, working closely with students, parents, teachers and alumni. She was the driving force behind Doane Stuart's Parent School Partnership, a keystone of the School’s successful communication with parents.

Welcome to Doane Stuart!

As you look through our website, you will  discover a great deal about Doane Stuart,  about our unique and colorful history, about our academic and extracurricular offerings,  and about the people - students, teachers and friends of the school - who, together,  are the engine that makes this exciting independent school hum.

But we really look forward to learning about you and your children – about the ambitions, hopes, and dreams that have brought you here to discover  Doane Stuart  – and that will, we believe,  inspire you to move from our virtual school to the real one, and to come and see us in action. 

We are pleased to welcome you to Doane Stuart, online and in person, and we look forward to meeting you soon at  our  recently restored and renovated campus in Rensselaer.

With all best wishes,

Lisa F. Brown
Interim Head of School
