Quick Answer for Busy Parents
Convent & Stuart Hall believes in the unique power of educating girls and boys separately and together. It runs four single-sex divisions: Convent Elementary (girls, K–8), Stuart Hall for Boys (K–8), Convent High School (girls, 9–12), and Stuart Hall High School (boys, 9–12). In the high school, freshman and sophomore courses are mostly single-sex, while some coursework is coed, along with six coed athletic teams and shared arts and community life.
Four Divisions, One School
| Division | Students | Grades |
| Convent Elementary | Girls | K–8 |
| Stuart Hall for Boys | Boys | K–8 |
| Convent High School | Girls | 9–12 |
| Stuart Hall High School | Boys | 9–12 |
In 2025–26, the high school enrolled 481 students: 248 at Convent and 233 at Stuart Hall.
What Single-Sex Looks Like in the High School
Freshman and sophomore courses are mostly single-sex, taught on a coed campus at Octavia. That gives students the focus of a girls’ or boys’ classroom while still sharing hallways, events, and friendships with peers from both schools.

- Athletics: Six coed teams, including cross country, football, sailing, wrestling, fencing, and swimming.
- Arts and clubs: Shared arts programs and clubs such as Model United Nations and Mock Trial.

Is This Model Right for Your Child?
