The Stuart Hall School for Boys was founded in 1984 by William “Bill’ Gallop in response to a growing need in the New Orleans area for the education of young boys in an independent Catholic preparatory school environment. The School was named for Janet Erskine Stuart, a religious of the Sacred Heart, who wrote extensively of a philosophy of education espousing faith, scholarship, honor, and leadership-qualities that form the core values of a man of Stuart Hall.
The mission of the Stuart Hall School community is to live the words of our namesake, Janet Erskine Stuart, R.S. C. J., “Education is formation, not just information.” The faculty and staff are dedicated to working with parents to help each child build a foundation for a life centered in a love for learning, a desire to help others, and a commitment to gospel values.
Now in its thirty-fourth year of existence, the last twenty-one under the leadership of its second Headmaster, Kevin Avin, Stuart Hall offers a unique value-based experience for boys in grades PreK3 through Seventh.
Stuart Hall, governed by a Board of Trustees, holds membership in the Independent Schools Association of the Southwest/ISAS, the National Association of Independent Schools/NAIS, and the International Boys’ School Coalition/IBSC. As a school of the Archdiocese of New Orleans, the standards for the spiritual life of our school and the application of gospel values to everyday life are a daily reminder that Stuart Hall is a place where good boys become great men.
