It is the mission of St. Stephen School community to educate children in a nurturing faith-filled environment that addresses the whole child, spiritually and intellectually. Parents are recognized as the primary educators of their children and we collaborate with them in our role as their children’s teachers. It is our mission to provide students with an opportunity to grow in their relationship with God as they pursue academic excellence.  Students in this community are encouraged to be mindful of the dignity of all people and to actively work for peace and justice in the world. Instructional programs designed to reflect the Gospel teaching of Jesus Christ prepare students to become empathetic, responsible members of society, who are committed to working within their diverse community and the global society.
