PHILOSOPHY
St. Stephen School strives to provide an excellent academic education. As
a Catholic school, we recognize and accept our responsibility to devlop the
whole child in his/her spiritual, moral, intellectual, emotional and social
growth. We live this philosophy with parents as partners in the education
process by:
Nurturing spiritual and moral development
The St. Stephen School community is an expression of faith. By example, and
through formal instruction, faculty members provide moral and religious
training. The students are encouraged to live their faith daily.
Providing tools for intellectual development
St. Stephen School encourages each student to achieve his/her personal best
within the framework of our traditional curriculum. Technology is used to
enhance the delivery of this curriculum in the pursuit of life-long learning.
Encouraging emotional and social development
Students are taught ownership of and responsibility for their actions. They
are sensitized to the feelings of others and are called to respond to them. A world filled
with peace and justice begins with a child filled with self-worth and the Spirit of
Christ's love.
