Faith

My life at Stone Ridge began in September 1951, when I entered the Sixth Class (Grade 7) thanks to my maternal grandmother whose piano now sits in the parlor next to the Chapel in the Hamilton House.

Imagine spending one to three days away from your busy schedule to focus solely on your interiority—returning with a profound sense of gratitude, feeling closer to God, an awareness of the benefits of living in the here and now, and feeling seen, valued, and more connected with your peers.

As a Catholic, Sacred Heart School, Dr. Downey-Vanover sees global education as essential to Stone Ridge’s identity and mission to bring the attributes of Christ’s heart into the world.

As a Sacred Heart institution, we are committed to engaging in deep discernment and consultative processes. We carefully evaluate curriculum, programming, and any changes to school policies, traditions, and overall culture through the lens of our mission.
