Stuart Hall

Stuart Hall School was founded in 1844 as the Virginia Female Institute, and from its earliest years, has provided an excellent liberal arts education, and has endeavored to develop the character and personal honor of every student. After a rich history as a girls’ school, Stuart Hall became the premier co-educational independent school for 6-12th grade students in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. Stuart Hall’s mission is to prepare students of all faiths for success in universities worldwide, and for engaged lives of intellectual curiosity, creativity, and contribution. Stuart Hall’s vision is to be the school of choice for parents of boarding and day students who want their children to be independent, self-aware, self-directed, and motivated and who — through meaningful, real-world learning experiences — have obtained mastery in knowledge and skills essential for engaged contribution to the world.
