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. |
