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.

There are no Advanced Placement courses at Doane Stuart. And the students don’t take any standardized tests. This is a long-standing philosophical and pedagogical decision that ensures that teachers do not need they feel to teach to a test or move a pace counter to their own instinct of what is best for the class.
