I came to assist in the [Way of Beauty] culinary workshop, making apple rose pastries in anticipation of the feast of St. Therese of Lisieux. Of course, children love sweets, but to see the kids’ excitement to bring this recipe home to make for their family is heartwarming. Practicing this craft at school in the Way of Beauty grounds such tasks in the rich theology of the Church. It’s beautiful to see.

Arrowsmith
Program
Saint Stephen is one of thirty school sites nationwide to offer the innovative Arrowsmith Program as a part of a child’s regular school life. This unique approach to education for students with learning disabilities helps students become confident, self-directed learners.
I don’t think that he would be where he is now without Arrowsmith. He just couldn’t read, he couldn’t spell. His memory was terrible. Arrowsmith allowed him to achieve and feel good about himself. Don’t ever write your kids off. Don’t ever think that they can’t be someone. They can, and Arrowsmith can help them do that.
Leah, an Arrowsmith Parent
My son has special needs and we really desired for him to be in a Catholic school where he could grow in his faith, develop confidence in himself and really be cherished for the person he is. This school is passionate about what it can offer for its students with learning disabilities. Every staff member that I have interacted with has been so kind, open and supportive about my son!”

Homeschool
Partnership
Saint Stephen School partners with parents in their God-given role as the primary educators of their children. Our Homeschool Partnership provides the opportunity for homeschool families to participate in our rich liberal arts curriculum, including our Way of Beauty program, logic, science, literature, and our Arrowsmith cognitive exercises course.
The homeschool program with Saint Stephen is just what we needed! It allows me to use my own curriculum choices for my homeschooler, while Saint Stephen offers supplemental classes for two mornings every week. It also provides social opportunities not only in class, but to eat lunch, go to book club, and recess with other students. Saint Stephen has been wonderful about including us in any school-wide programs, too.
