We have been pleased with our son's academic and social experiences at Doane Stuart. We love all of the teachers and staff. They are amazing and go above and beyond without ever needing to be asked.

My children are thriving at Doane Stuart. The school has incredible faculty and staff that truly care about each student. They are doing hands-on learning every day. The school has over 20 acres of green space and a nature trail that goes down to the Hudson River and I love that they are outside in nature every day, as well as getting the best education in their classrooms. We highly recommend this school.

We never considered private school, as we purposely moved to a "good" district and were happy enough with their experience -- until COVID. We initially decided to enroll only the two younger children, recognizin...
