The mission of St. Stephen's Academy is to establish a Catholic environment for the spiritual, physical, intellectual, emotional, and social development of each student.
It is the philosophy of St. Stephen's Academy to provide for the development of the whole person.
We believe students learn best by a variety of methods, which include cooperative learning, attention to brain research, literacy strategies, and the use of manipulatives and technology.
St. Stephen's offers a safe, religious, academically challenging environment in a city whose school system has had problems with accreditation.
The curriculum has also changed over the years to serve our families and prepare students for the future. We have classes in Art, and P.E. and ESL.
