Profile of a Graduate
Mission Statement and Philosophy
The mission of the Stuart Hall community is to live the words of Catholic educator Janet Erskine Stuart, RSCJ, “Education is formation, not just information.”
Stuart Hall School for Boys is a family school with a value-based curriculum. Those values upon which the philosophy is based are Faith, Scholarship, Leadership, and Honor. The faculty and staff are dedicated to working with parents to help each child build a foundation for a life centered on a love for learning, a desire to help others, and a commitment to Gospel values.
“Therefore, they must leave us with some self-knowledge, some energy, some purpose…If they leave us without these three things, they drift with the stream of life.” – Janet Erskine Stuart, RSCJ
