Welcome!
Choosing
a school for your child will be one of the most important
decisions that you will ever make. We hope to provide you with all the
necessary information and opportunities to help you get to know our
school and to assist you in this process.
At Stevens we seek to create groups of children representative of the
general population exhibiting diversity in learning styles,
developmental needs, personalities, and religious and cultural
backgrounds. A family’s belief the School’s
progressive educational philosophy is also considered.
We encourage parents to take advantage of all the fall admissions
events. It is important to attend our Open House at which time
prospective families can see classrooms, meet students and alumni and
talk with teachers. Another wonderful way to learn more about our
school is by scheduling a tour. Come and visit during the school day
while children and teachers are actively engaged in learning.
Tours
are by appointment only and spaces are limited so
please make a reservation as early as possible.
