The Stuart Center is named for Jim Stuart, an alumnus from LFA’s Class of ’59, who has devoted much of his adult life to leadership development in others guided by three core values: self-authorship, transformational change, and serving others. Mr. Stuart partnered with Dr. John Strudwick, LFA’s Head of School Emeritus, to create the Stuart Center in 2016.
