Admissions
Welcome to Doane Stuart school: A premier private school for grades 5-12
Founded in 1975, Doane Stuart School has a rich history shaped by the merger of Sacred Heart School, Kenwood Academy, and St. Agnes School. This unique beginning allowed us to create a community focused on innovation, academic excellence, and personal growth. As we celebrate our 50th anniversary in 2025, we’re excited to honor our legacy and look forward to the future. Beginning in the 2025-2026 academic year, we will transition to a dedicated private school for grades 5-12—continuing our commitment to academic rigor and fostering independent, confident learners.
Celebrating 50 years of educational excellence
Over the past five decades, Doane Stuart School has consistently been at the forefront of educational innovation. Our founding vision was built on a foundation of academic achievement, personal growth, and a dedication to exploring new ideas. This legacy continues as we evolve and embrace a renewed focus on preparing students for college, careers, and a lifetime of learning.
As we celebrate our 50-year milestone, we honor the community, values, and traditions that have shaped our identity. Our commitment to personalized education and community-driven learning is stronger than ever as we look ahead to the future.
Transforming education for grades 5-12
In the 2025-26 school year, Doane Stuart School will shift to a dedicated grades 5-12 educational experience, offering a dynamic, preparatory curriculum for middle and high school students.
