Life in the Upper School2

Welcome to Stone Ridge... where innovation meets tradition.Stone Ridge is the only school in the greater Washington area that brings together the Goals of Sacred Heart, girls’ education, and innovative teaching and learning for a new era.

STEAM InitiativesStudio Art Teacher Emma Stevenson works with Freshmen in Foundations of Studio Art, a class which takes advantage of all technology and software available to the students to produce art. This fall, students are working on creating sound art

which connects with the study of sounds waves in Physics. Sound art is “a term for a diverse set of art practices which utilize sound and listening as the subject matter and material… Among the wide variety of forms that might be grouped within

the category of sound art are: kinetic sounding sculpture, automatons, experimental radio, sound installations , guided sound-walks, instrument making, graphic scores, sound poetry, and video art,” as described by experimental sound artist

Chris Reider. This project is titled Sound Collage: A Garage Band and iMovie Project.

“Stone Ridge traditions such as congé and goûter strengthen our relationships as peers and bring warmth and fun to our school day.”

Catherine ‘17

“Sacred Heart educators nurture the desire for truth. We hope to give the girls an appreciation of various modes of thought and ways of thinking.”

Dr. Tamae Wong, Science Department


Through the focus on the five Goals of Sacred Heart education, our students are encouraged to stretch and challenge themselves every day. Stone Ridge offers an educational program designed to nurture and inspire young women to find themselves, to develop their gifts, and to gain confidence in the knowledge that their lives have meaning and purpose.

In an all-girls school, the students collaborate, lead, mentor, and learn from each other. A girl occupies every role: every part in the play, every club leader, every position on every team. Not only does she have a wealth of avenues for self-exploration and development, she will develop strong, life-long friendships, and will be a part of a community that lasts a lifetime.

Our extraordinary faculty has developed rich curricula and practices pedagogy based on research aimed at how girls learn best. Through the use of four, 80 minute class periods each day, our students are provided with the opportunity to collaborate, develop their analytical and critical thinking skills, and delve deeply into each academic discipline.

By using innovative technology our students are prepared for twenty-first century success. Through our award winning Social Action program they learn the importance of servant leadership. Stone Ridge takes pride in forming tomorrow’s global leaders of intellect, courage, and faith.

Preparing young women for 21st century success.

“As a college professor, I could identify students from girls’ schools with a 90 percent accuracy rate on the first day of class. They were the young women whose hands shot up in the air, who were not afraid to defend their positions, and who assumed that I would be interested in their perspectives.”

Robin Robertson, Ph.D. (National Coalition of Girls Schools)

The class schedule consists of 8 periods that meet over the course of 2 days. Each day includes 4, 80-minute periods where students are able to learn in an environment that closely models the college classroom experience.

A typical day at Stone Ridge

opens with a morning Assembly, a time for students to gather as a school

community in Good Hall. At this Assembly, students lead prayer, and daily announcements are relayed by

students and staff. For many students, Assembly is a cherished time of day.

Stone Ridge Upper School at a Glance


Stone Ridge’s curriculum places emphasis on thinking and writing, developing reasoning and problem solving skills, and engaging in creative yet disciplined self-expression.

When walking through a school, one does not expect to navigate around students stretching slinkies down the hallways or dodging Barbies dropping from above. One doesn’t expect to walk into a classroom where students are staging the storming of the Bastille with action figures or having to step over diagrams of the unit circles drawn on the sidewalk in chalk. This is, however, what our students expect when they walk into school every day because at Stone Ridge teachers and students work together to make education and learning come to life.

In a welcoming classroom environment, our teachers and students engage and challenge each other to look at concepts from different perspectives and through unconventional ways. The faculty are constantly experimenting with new and creative methods to help the students take risks in learning and come to a deeper understanding of their subject. Whether it be through the use of Google maps to follow Odysseus’ journey, through the creation of an iMovie for a class project, or in the staging of a crime scene to be solved by students in the Forensics Science class, it is clear that the learning process is pouring out from our classrooms and into the halls and homes. In creating an atmosphere of inquiry, practice, and collaboration, Stone Ridge prepares young women for success by instilling in them a life-long love of learning.

The strong academic program offered at Stone Ridge is a unique program, which fully embraces Goal II of Sacred Heart education, “…to educate to a deep respect for intellectual values.”

Stone Ridge Celebrates the ArtsAt Stone Ridge, the broader Arts program empowers the students to develop technical and conceptual skills for critical thinking, risk-taking, decision-making and problem-solving. Simultaneously, they enhance their self-esteem, self-management, self-motivation and, eventually become more responsible and compassionate citizens of a global society. Appropriate environments must be carefully crafted to accommodate their respective artistic needs and interests so that they can develop and grow as both creators and consumers of the arts.

Our focus is twofold: the quality of the student’s performance and the quality of the final product. One balances the other. Our ultimate goal is to make the arts an enriching and fulfilling experience for every student while generating an ongoing appetite and appreciation for meaning in the lives of our graduates as reflected in the Fine Arts. Our hope is that our students will have meaningful experiences that will affect them deeply, touch the inexpressible

and connect beyond the reality of everyday life as we know it to be.

“The arts program provided a creative aspect to my everyday life at Stone Ridge. As an artist, the opportunity to express myself through what I love to do most, from singing in Vocal Arts to acting in Drama classes and rehearsals for plays and musicals, was invaluable, and the artistic faculty bring the program to life. Without the guidance of our first-rate music and drama faculty, I would never have been able to refine my talents and become the artist I am today.”

Athletics at Stone RidgeStone Ridge sports teams are consistently strong and place at the top of the Independent School League (ISL). The School also offers four club sports (equestrian, golf, ice hockey, and squash)

that practice and compete under the Stone Ridge name at off-campus facilities.

Competing in sports at Stone Ridge gives our young women the privilege and responsibility to represent the School, the student body, the sport, the team, and the greater community to the best of their abilities and with the utmost respect. In doing so, our athletes develop self-esteem, discipline, and leadership skills, and learn the importance of teamwork and sportsmanship.

“Playing sports allows girls to have a presence and a voice. It makes them competitors.”

Agnus Berenato, head women’s basketball coach at the

University of Pittsburgh

former professional goalkeeper and three-time all-American collegiate player


Advisory:Each student joins an advisory group at the beginning of her time at Stone Ridge. Each group, which includes a faculty advisor and approximately nine students, meets weekly to discuss classes and co-curricular programs, build community, and develop skills of self-advocacy. The advisor also serves as a point of contact for students and families throughout the high school experience.

Digital Media:In order to acclimate to the 1:1 MacBook program and learn best how to utilize their devices, the freshmen take a Digital Media class. With an emphasis on the use of visual design principles and concepts as applied to digital media-based projects, the Digital Media course presents production, publishing, research, and graphic development tools. This class provides students with a wide array of tools that they will apply throughout their high school educational career.

The students also study and practice in developing front-end components of websites utilizing scripting languages (HTML, CSS3, Javascript). Students learn introductory skills using industry standard software to create, edit, and process digital media content for use in specific applications such as interactive websites, nonlinear, and linear productions. Additionally, the students learn an introductory module on Mobile App development.

The First Academic (Freshman) Experience


First Academic (Freshman) Seminar:The Academic Seminar program at Stone Ridge plays a vital role in furthering the School’s mission to inspire young women to lead and serve, through lives of purpose. The program is structured as regularly scheduled classes in the week, and it is an integral part of the curriculum at Stone Ridge. The Seminar classes are organized into small groups of 8-12, for every student in Grades 9-12, and they are structured as ungraded, informal classes, where students get to take a moment out of their busy academic day to reflect. For the newly transitioned First Academic class, the seminar classes meet once a week for the entire year.

First Academic Seminar is a class where students become aware of the developmental issues for teens. Through the use of lectures, videos, movies, small and large group activities, class discussions, projects, and personal reflections and journals, topics such as, Getting to Know One Another, Transition to High School, Issues Concerning Diversity, Stress Management and Mindfulness, and Cyber Safety are presented to the students.

The Seminar program is a building block to not only creating bonds among classmates, but also to stimulating personal growth and development by increasing each student’s awareness of herself and who she is striving to become.

“Everyone goes through a transition; it should never be taken for granted that ‘it just happens.’ It is different for each girl. Most of the time teenagers need to know that they are being heard, and I do my best to be a sounding board for them.”

Nikola Edgar, Ph.D, Upper School Psychologist


Stone Ridge students have the choice to engage in the practice of leadership through a rich array of leadership opportunities that are accessible to all. Students will develop a thoughtful awareness for leadership qualities in themselves and others by developing facilitation and communication skills, and learning about inclusivity, accountability, and team work in the service of others.

Social Action Program: A Service Learning ProgramRooted in Goal III of Sacred Heart education, the Social Action Program is a comprehensive service-learning program that is central to the Upper School experience. Through preparation, action, and reflection, Social

Action cultivates critical consciousness of issues of justice, instills a lifelong commitment to service, and develops students’ potential for leadership in building and maintaining just partnerships. The Social Action Program has been recognized by Montgomery County for its excellence in service, by SOME for 30 years of service, and the Program has also received the 2008 Marriott Spirit to Serve Community Service Award. On Social Action days (12 Wednesdays throughout the year), the Upper School community gathers for a morning presentation, departs for action, and returns for small group reflection.

During the First Academic year, students engage the six major areas of social justice on which the program focuses—Care and Concern for the Elderly, Understanding Disabilities, Stewardship of the Environment, Human Rights, Childcare & Education, and Poverty & Homelessness—through the Orientation to Social Action.

Social Action provides a space to develop significant student leadership. Fourth Academic students apply and are selected to serve as Social

Action Leaders, teachers of the Orientation to Social Action curriculum. Third and Fourth Academic students may serve as Reflection Leaders for small group reflection sessions at the end of Social Action days. The Social Action Student Advisory Board (SASAB), which is composed of students in all grades, provides leadership and supports growth of the program through preparation, evaluation, modification, and participation. SASAB leads and supports the

Network Exchange ProgramSecond Academic students have the opportunity to participate in an exchange program with other Sacred Heart schools in the United States and abroad. Exchanges are facilitated by the Goals of Sacred Heart education shared by Network schools and personal bonds among the faculty members and students.

The Exchange Program offers students an opportunity to broaden their horizons by sharing in the life of another Sacred Heart school and experiencing the cultures of other parts of their own country and of the wider world, including Canada, England, Scotland, France, Spain, Austria, and Australia. Exchange students follow courses chosen to approximate what they would be taking at home. They may live as resident students when attending boarding schools or with host families when attending day schools.

Fourth Academic InternshipsDuring two weeks in May, all Fourth Academic students participate in independent professional projects. These projects can take the form of an internship, a service project, or a carefully planned creative endeavor. Each Fourth Academic student must complete a project proposal and gain the approval of Upper School administrators. Upon completion of the project, each student participates in the Fourth Academic project symposium.

“Stone Ridge teaches us the value of time management and being responsible for our own academic success by taking advantage of the amazing resources (faculty, programs, help, etc) offered. Everyday we have the opportunity to be leaders. We learn to question, reason, argue and persuade, and we learn to serve.”

Mia ’14

Students from our Sacred Heart school (Sagrado Corazón-Chamartín) in Madrid, Spain, attend Stone Ridge through the Network Exchange Program.


Big Sisters - Little SistersIn the spring, the rising Junior class and the incoming Freshman class meet for a pizza party, games, and fun activities. For the coming year, every Freshman is assigned to a Senior who serves as the Freshman’s big sister for the year.

Blue/Gold induction At the beginning of each school year, the Freshmen are welcomed at a special school assembly and called up one-by-one by the Blue or Gold Team captains respectively, and are welcomed to a team that they will stay on for life!

Spirit Week Organized and planned by each class and its officers, Spirit Week is one large, fun-filled class project every fall. Each class picks a theme and color for a class t-shirt, decorates part of the School, and selects

themed dress-up days for the week. The week concludes with the much-anticipated class cheers for the culminating basketball games between the classes.

Congés, a phrase derived from our French heritage, are “play days.” These days are designated to build community while keeping a spirit of fun about school. Students take leave of their regular studies and channel all energy into entertaining activities and games!

Stone Ridge Celebrates a Long History of Traditions


Feast of Mater Admirabilis is observed every October to celebrate the miraculous fresco of the Virgin Mary depicted by a young nun in the Society of the Sacred Heart in 1844.

Feast Wishes is an all-school gathering before the Christmas holidays where students present the gifts of song and cards to every member of the administration, faculty, and staff.

Field Day is celebrated the first week of June with the entire Stone Ridge community from Grades 1 through 12. Activities include Father-Daughter races, a cookout lunch, music, and prizes.

Prize Day is a formal assembly at the end of the school year for the distribution of certificates and awards recognizing special achievement.

Ring DayIn the spring, students in the Junior class receive their class rings from their Senior ring sisters at a ceremony presided over by the Head of School, the Head of the Upper School, and the Alumnae Board President. This is a formal ceremony for the Juniors and Seniors.

Très Bien BallEvery spring the School hosts this black-tie event, benefiting the Agnes Barry Scholarship Fund and sponsored by the Alumnae Association for the Senior class and their families. During the evening, the students are presented as alumnae for the first time. An honorary committee, under the supervision of the Alumnae Relations Office, plans the event.

College Acceptances and MatriculationsBelow is a sampling of college acceptances for the Class of 2014. Names in bold are schools attended by members of the Class of 2014.

College CounselingThe goal of the College Counseling program is to help each student identify her per-sonal gifts and strengths in order to select a college that serves her needs, enhances her growth, and prepares her for the future. The college counselors empower students to become strong leaders and self-advocates throughout the process and to find schools that are great “fits” for them.

College seminars in the spring of the Third Academic year and the fall of Fourth Academic year facilitate the college process. Students have the opportunity to meet with over 120 college representatives who visit Stone Ridge each year, and counselors monitor the latest trends and developments at colleges and universities. The college counselors interact with college representatives across the country through college visits and by attending College Board Forums and NACAC conferences.

• Stone Ridge’s Class of 2014 sent over 750 applications to 205 colleges and universities nationally and internationally.

• The College Counseling Team has visited and toured over 190 different colleges and universities in 30 states, Canada and the UK.
