St. Stephen's & St. Agnes School is a college preparatory Episcopal Church School in the Diocese of Virginia that educates boys and girls from Junior Kindergarten through Twelfth Grade.

To help our students succeed in a complex and changing world, we seek to inspire a passion for learning, an enthusiasm for athletic and artistic endeavor, a striving for excellence, a celebration of diversity and a commitment to service.

To achieve our mission, St. Stephen's & St. Agnes School will create a Christian environment in which each student can grow in mind, body and spirit; foster intellectual curiosity and guide students to acquire knowledge, to master skills, and to think critically, creatively and independently; actively seek students of character and ability from diverse ethnic, racial, religious, cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds; and balance a rigorous academic curriculum with broad extracurricular programs, including the visual and performing arts in both academic and extracurricular programs.
