Stone Ridge School Of The Sacred Heart

Stone Ridge describes its approach as a transformational Sacred Heart education that engages students and educators in learning aimed at self-understanding as people loved by God, supported by intentional formation in critical thinking. It emphasizes a rigorous, research-informed curriculum with ongoing evaluation that cultivates deep respect for intellectual values and a lifelong love of learning. The school frames learning within the Sacred Heart goals of integrating faith, intellect, community, social action, and personal growth in an atmosphere of “wise freedom.”

Stone Ridge School of the Sacred Heart manages admissions through the Ravenna platform: families create a Ravenna profile, use it to register for tours/open houses, and submit the application for the appropriate division (Lower, Middle, or Upper School). (stoneridgeschool.org) Applications and supporting materials vary by grade; for example, Lower School notes that additional documents may include a transcript and one or two teacher evaluations, with school documents due after the main application deadline. (stoneridgeschool.org) Required student visit/testing steps are built into the process: Lower School applicants attend Discovery Days (with Grade 3–4 also completing a reading/math assessment), Middle School applicants must submit ISEE or SSAT scores by January 30, 2026, and Upper School applicants complete a Stone Ridge Assessment (Grade 9) with separate deadlines for Grade 9 vs. transfer applicants. (stoneridgeschool.org) Key dates published on the school’s site include: applications open September 2, 2025; Upper School Grade 9 applications due December 5, 2025 (paperwork due December 12, 2025); Lower & Middle School applications due January 9, 2026 (paperwork due January 23, 2026); financial aid due January 15, 2026; and decision notification February 27, 2026 (after 4:00 p.m.). (stoneridgeschool.org) The publicly accessible admissions pages reviewed do not describe a waitlist process or any formal priority/preference categories (e.g., sibling/legacy) for admission; families would need to contact the Admissions team via Ravenna or the inquiry form for those specifics.
