ONE CAMPUS: A DESTINATION FOR LEARNING....

 

Saint Stephen’s families travel to campus daily from throughout Southwest Florida – as far north as Apollo Beach, south to Osprey, and east into the Lakewood Ranch area. With grades Pre-K3 through 12 all on one campus at SSES, parents know that the meaningful learning experiences their children have each day make the drive, or bus ride, incredibly worthwhile.
