Stone Ridge proudly welcomed educators from across North America for the ICGS Educating Girls Symposium, highlighting the transformative power of all-girls education. The inspiring day brought together thought leaders and innovators committed to empowering the next generation of women leaders.

In Social Sciences for Social Problems, Upper School students learn to lead through inquiry—asking thoughtful questions, engaging across differences, and connecting classroom discussions to real-world issues. Rooted in Sacred Heart values, the course empowers students to use their voices with confidence, curiosity, and a commitment to justice.

Stone Ridge’s production of Newsies JR. was more than a musical—it was a powerful lesson in leadership, collaboration, and courage. From center stage to backstage, Middle School students seized the day to lead, support one another, and discover what’s possible when girls are empowered to raise their voices together.

At Stone Ridge, leadership begins in the earliest grades through small acts of service, responsibility, and care for others. Traditions like Prîmes and Pink Ribbon jobs help Lower School students discover that true leadership is rooted not in recognition, but in compassion, community, and the confidence to make a difference.

In Grade 2, students explore identity, culture, and community through the Family Cultures project—an immersive, student-driven experience where 7- and 8-year-olds research their heritage, share stories and artifacts, and celebrate both differences and shared humanity. This hands-on project brings Goal III and Goal IV to life, fostering empathy, cultural awareness, and connection across generations.

In a once-overlooked corner of campus, Stone Ridge students have planted over 450 native trees and shrubs to create the Tiny Forest—a student-led, hands-on project that blends sustainability, faith, environmental stewardship, and leadership. Planting a self-sustaining outdoor classroom for generations to come.
