Doane Stuart: Fifty Forward and Beyond

Dear Families, Friends, and Future Partners,

Welcome to Doane Stuart, where tradition meets transformation and every student is invited to discover their unique path toward meaning, mastery, and belonging.

As Head of School, I’m honored to serve a community rooted in education that is active, personal, and purpose-driving. At Doane Stuart, we believe that education must nourish the heart, feed the intellect and stir the spirit–and that collaboration, compassion, and curiosity are not just classroom virtues, but lifelong ones.

You’ll notice we have a different approach to “school”: a commitment to personalized learning, financial sustainability, and expansive community partnerships. These are more than goals—they’re promises to our students and to a future we build together. Whether you are here to learn more about our experiential learning curriculum, our inclusive culture, or our growing innovation initiatives, we welcome you with open arms and open minds.

This year marks our 50th anniversary—Fifty Forward is not just a celebration, but a call to reimagine what’s possible. We’re forging a future that honors our legacy while embracing the ideas that will define tomorrow’s world.

Explore. Ask questions. Be part of something extraordinary.

With courage and confidence,

Marcy Cathey
