About Saint Stephen’s

Our purpose, our promise, and the pledges we hold ourselves to. “Every child will be known and every child will be valued” — kept by a commitment to Excellence, Respect, and Community. Read what we stand for.

Saint Stephen’s is an Episcopal school — but that heritage is a foundation, not a membership. Chapel anchors the week, and families of every faith, and of none, belong here. See what our Episcopal identity means in practice, and what it does not require.

A community in which every student is known and valued — and in which difference is treated as both a strength and a responsibility.

A welcome from the Head of School, and the Board of Trustees who steward the school’s mission, its finances, and its long-term direction — in trust for the families we serve, present and future.

Teachers, coaches, and staff who want to know their students by name — and to be known in turn. Saint Stephen’s is an equal-opportunity employer.

Your support sustains small classes, signature programs, and financial aid. Every gift matters — and every gift stays close to the students it reaches.

The people who know your child by name — a faculty of teachers, advisors and coaches, most of whom have taught here for a decade or more.

A campus on Sarasota Bay — laboratories, studios, playing fields and a working waterfront that the marine science programme treats as a classroom.

The vision, priorities and measurable goals that guide the school forward, stewarded by the Board of Trustees and the Head of School.
