We’re glad you’re here.
Admission is a conversation, not a gauntlet. Tell us about your child and we’ll walk you through every step — from a first campus tour to the first day of school.

The five admission steps
- Visit (Year-round): Tour the campus in person or by live video — about an hour, most any day of the year. Most families start here.
- Apply (Open now): Start a new application or return to an existing one — the same portal handles both. A $100 one-time, non-refundable fee is due with the application, one per child.
- Shadow Day (From October): Once your application is in, your child spends a day on campus — classes, lunch, a student host in grades 4–12, and the admissions assessment.
- Decision (Mid-November): With the file complete, the committee decides. Early Decision notifications from mid-November; enrollment contracts early February; applications after February 1 are reviewed all year.
- Enroll (Early February): Submit the tuition deposit and enrollment contract, then complete the records checklist to join the Falcon family.
The Process
Every application starts with a visit to our beautiful campus , then apply , spend a Shadow Day with other Falcons , before the decision — then enroll. Happy applying!

Affording Saint Stephen’s
Financial aid is a conversation, not a formula.
A Saint Stephen’s education should be within reach for the families who belong here — which is why we award more than $2-million in financial assistance every year, and why the first question is always about your child, never your bank statement.
