At St. Stephen’s School, our mission is to provide an exceptional educational experience that nurtures academic excellence, creativity, and global citizenship. This year, as we advance our strategic development goals, we are excited to share how your continued support is instrumental in shaping the future of our school and community.
While tuition forms the cornerstone of our operations, it does not fully cover the cost of the diverse programs, campus enhancements, and innovative opportunities we strive to provide for our students. Like many independent schools, we rely on auxiliary income and philanthropic contributions to bridge this gap and bring our vision to life.
We are thrilled to announce that the funds raised through this year’s Annual Fund will play a pivotal role in supporting several key initiatives, including:
Upgrading and maintaining state-of-the-art facilities: Enhancements to our common spaces, iLab, library, and science labs will ensure these vital areas reflect the vibrant and dynamic learning environment our students deserve.
Enhancing student-centered programs: Funding will bolster the arts, athletics, and extracurricular activities, enriching the student experience and fostering creativity.
Investing in faculty professional development: We remain committed to attracting and retaining outstanding educators by providing opportunities for growth and learning.
Expanding scholarships and financial aid: By increasing access to financial assistance, we aim to ensure that St. Stephen’s remains a diverse and inclusive community of learners.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the Parents’ Committee for their leadership and generosity in supporting these efforts. Your dedication inspires our entire community and exemplifies the profound impact we can achieve when we unite toward a common goal.
Your contributions do more than cover operational costs—they empower us to create a thriving learning environment where students excel, and our shared vision for the future becomes a reality.
We look forward to partnering with you throughout the year to achieve these ambitious goals. Thank you for being an essential part of our community and for helping ensure that St. Stephen’s continues to set the standard for excellence in education.
Together, we can achieve remarkable things!
