As the 2025—2026 school year came to a close, we reflected with deep gratitude on the remarkable community that has defined Doane Stuart for the past 50 years. The dedication of our faculty, staff, students, families, alumni, and supports created a school where a love of learning was discovered, character was strengthened, and lifelong friendships were formed.

After careful and extensive deliberation, the Board of Trustees made the difficult decision to cease operations of The Doane Stuart School, effective September 1, 2026.

We are committed to supporting the community through a smooth transition and wind-down period. Our priority is to keep everyone informed in a timely and helpful way. We will continue to share additional information as it becomes available. Please do not hesitate to use the options below to contact us. While this chapter is coming to an end, the impact of Doane Stuart and its predecessor schools, Kenwood Academy and St. Agnes School, will endure far beyond our campus. The values instilled here, the experiences shared, and the lives shaped within these walls will continue through the thousands who will carry the spirit of Doane Stuart into the world.

To everyone who has been a part of our story over these past five decades, thank you. Your support and belief in our mission have made Doane Stuart far more than a school; you have made it a community whose legacy will live on for generations to come.
