Stuart Country Day School of the Sacred Heart is an independent all-girls Catholic country day school located in Princeton, in Mercer County, New Jersey, United States, that serves students from pre-kindergarten through twelfth grade. Stuart is divided into a co-educational Early Childhood Program, a Lower School for junior kindergarten through grade 4, a Middle School for grades 5 through 8, and an Upper School for grades 9 through 12. The school was named for Janet Erskine Stuart. It operates under the auspices of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Trenton.
As of the 2013-14 school year, the school had an enrollment of 406 students (in K-12, plus 52 in PreK), 54.5 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis) and a student–teacher ratio of 7.4:1.
Stuart Country Day School has been accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Secondary Schools since 1991. It is overseen by the New Jersey Department of Education and is a member of the New Jersey Association of Independent Schools.
Stuart Country Day School of the Sacred Heart was founded in 1963 and named for Mother Janet Stuart by a group of women who wished to establish a Sacred Heart school for girls in Princeton, New Jersey. With the help of the Society of the Sacred Heart and local friends, a large tract of woodlands was purchased on The Great Road, and Professor Jean Labatut of Princeton University was appointed architect for the project.
