From The Doane Stuart School

At Doane Stuart, we approach private school education a little differently. For nearly 50 years, we have served the Capital Region with an Early Childhood through Grade 12 interfaith education, hyper-focused on providing students with the best and most cutting-edge education and preparation for the future.

Our educational programs are broken into elementary school, middle school, and high school – what we refer to as the Lower, Middle, and Upper schools respectively- each carefully catered to students with an active and engaging curriculum traditional at its core, but flexible enough to allow a student to follow their passion. As one of the top private schools serving the students of the Capital Region, The Doane Stuart School provides an academic experience focused on future success unlike any other.

Interdisciplinary Experiential Learning

academic spotlight

At Doane Stuart, our Integrated Project program provides experiential learning and research opportunities for students. This dynamic approach to education allows students to discover content, engage in higher-level thinking, make personal connections and reflect on what they have learned. As a result, our students are inspired to obtain a deeper knowledge of the subjects they’re studying.
