Why Choose St. Stephen’s Episcopal School?

We are a Middle States Accredited school and for forty-five years now our mission and focus has remained constant. As a private day school and after school, we are here to provide a high quality education to our students and to assist in the cultivation of lifelong, thoughtful learners, and healthy, productive community members.

Why do our families choose us?

Location

We are in walking distance of countless cultural, natural, historical, and educational resources. Our students routinely walk to theaters, museums, libraries, and state government buildings to participate in the real life of our city and region. Every day we live our tag line “The City is Our School!”

Learning with a Purpose

Our educational approach is experiential, student-centered, and project-based. Our students are learning to think critically, speak clearly, and act boldly!

Diversity

St. Stephen’s benefits from a student body and family community that is diverse in terms of race, culture, language, socio-economics, faith, gender, and sexual identity. Our Diversity is our strength!

Community

With a 1:9 staff to student ratio, every young person gets individualized attention at SSES. Small class sizes mean that faculty can tailor their instruction to the interests and needs of each student.
