Middle School
The St. Stephen's Middle School was established in 1991. Middle school students, seventh to eighth grade, are encouraged to continuously question and critique ideas. The school promotes basic Montessori principles (Indepence, working at your own pace, etc.). In addition, the program addresses the many intellectual, social, and creative needs of the students.
Students are taught how to care for those in society by participating in community service projects and social events. In addition, the students run what is known as “Salad Bar,” where the students prepare food to serve to the entire school. The money earned from Salad Bar finances a trip for students and faculty at the end of the school year.
The middle school curriculum includes computer skills, creative and factual writing, fine arts, language arts, mathematics, physical fitness, science, social studies, Spanish, and French.
