St. Stephen's Academy: Classical Christian School

"This is our 4th school year at SSA and we could not feel more blessed that our children are at the school. They genuinely enjoy gong to school each day, they enjoy their teachers and classmates, and they enjoy the subject material. We love the curriculum, which incorporates history, Latin, geography, Bible, math, science, reading, writing, spelling, music, art, and PE (and I'm sure other subjects I'm not thinking of). We love that our children get to sing and do artwork at school, and that they are learning to love things that are beautiful. We love that the school is strong academically and that the teachers and administrators emphasize character development as much as academic achievement. We also love that class sizes aren't large, we have enjoyed volunteering to read, helping chaperone filed trips, serving on recess duty, and even playing piano for weekly morning chapel. This is a great school and school community. I highly recommend parents investigate it further."

"We are so grateful that we found SSA! Our older daughter started at SSA as a Kindergarten during the pandemic back in 2020. The school had a an excellent plan and execution to switch students from offline to online classes. The staff monitored the situation closely and communicated clearly and openly with every change, and made sure all families have the support they need in order to continue nurturing the students. We also really enjoy the right amount of parents involvement. Huge kudos to the staff and Headmaster, Mr. Koch! We know the students are in great hands with his strong leadership!"

"Sending our daughter to St. Stephen's Academy is the best decision we ever made. She is thriving and flourishing at SSA. The academics are challenging and I've seen her improve in all subjects, while at the same time, she is growing in The Lord and building Godly character. The only challenge with SSA is that the school is so small there are not as many extra-curricular choices and electives, such as band, football, ski team, etc."

"SSA has been a wonderful blessing for our entire family. Our three children are learning, growing, and thriving in an environment that challenges them academically and encourages them spiritually. The teachers, staff, and faculty are kind and display godliness in their conduct and character. I have volunteered as a coach for many years and have seen firsthand how the kids push each other to do better in a positive way. The students are hardworking, respectful, and have a lot of joy, which comes out of their desire to honor God."

"Our family has been at St. Stephen's for 9 years and I am so glad that we found this gem. It has been a learning experience for me, realizing the difference and value of a classical education. This way of teaching is giving my children the immense gift of learning to think critically in all areas of their lives. My 15 year old thinks more clearly than most adults and credits her education at SSA. She has long-standing and great relationships with her teachers. Every time one of my kids gets a new teacher, I am surprised by how exceptional they are. How great to have a 5 star teacher every year!"
