| St.
Stephen's School is a co-educational, non-denominational,
boarding and day school, enrolling students from age 14-19
in grades 9-12 and for a postgraduate year. Founded in 1964,
St. Stephen's provides a demanding classical liberal arts
education taking full advantage of its location in the historic
center of Rome. The school is modeled on the American independent
school tradition, and offers a rigorous program based on well-rounded
and comprehensive preparation by each student in six major
academic areas: English, Foreign and Classical Language, History,
Experimental Science, Mathematics, Arts. Primary objectives
are academic excellence, fellowship and cooperation among
students and faculty, and the development of students as independent,
responsible, and involved members of the larger world community.
The curriculum prepares students for the American high school
diploma, including a variety of Advanced
Placements (AP) subjects, and the International Baccalaureate (IB) which allows students to enter universities
worldwide. |
