What Our Community is Saying

“St. Stephens Academy has been one of God’s greatest blessings to me. I started my time at SSA in 7th grade, unaware that over the next six years I would learn to grow and cultivate the invaluable ability to seek out the good, true, and beautiful, and to convey that wisdom eloquently to others, all while keeping Christ as the center. Along the way I found lifelong role models, as well as rich, authentic friendships in my teachers and fellow schoolmates. I can say with great confidence and appreciation that St. Stephens Academy is truly one of a kind.”

Katie Lineburg(2024 graduate)

“My kids attend St. Stephen’s Academy, and I have been so impressed with the quality of the teachers, their teaching, and the focus on building the character of the students.”

Mark N.St. Stephen's Parent

“St. Stephen’s is an excellent school! The small class sizes allow the teachers to get to know each student. The teachers are passionate about teaching, and the curriculum is super!”

Vanessa W.St. Stephen's Parent

“St. Stephen's Academy has been a source of community, growth, and delight for our family since we enrolled our oldest child in kindergarten over fifteen years ago. We have now seen three of our children rise to their senior year, having matured academically, spiritually, socially, and emotionally through the wise and loving guidance of shepherd-minded teachers and staff. Our children are all known as individuals - their strengths honed, their weaknesses challenged - within a framework of stewarding what God has given each one, and valuing truth, goodness, and beauty. To say that St. Stephen's has been a blessing to our family is a massive understatement! We are grateful that St. Stephen's has been a part of all of our lives.”

Krista Briley(2 alumni (‘21 and ‘23) and a senior this year)

“St. Stephens Academy has been such a blessing to our family. We were so impressed the moment we stepped foot into St. Stephens Academy and witnessed their mission in action. St. Stephens Academy places high value and focus on building the character and spiritual growth of our children. This is witnessed through the teaching in chapel, the interactions in class and the conflict resolutions on the playground which are all represented by the teachings of Christ. The kids are greeted every morning with a smile and a “good morning” from principals who then set the tone for how the day will be. The educational program is fun, engaging, rigorous, but set at a great pace in order to optimize actual learning. God’s beauty, as well as attention and organization to detail is evident in all aspects from the material/methods used to teach students to the various amazing shows put on by the students/school. The emphasis that St. Stephens Academy puts on family and faith has grown our family closer to each other and to the word of God.”
