Thank you for your interest in learning about the Lower and Middle Divisions at Stevenson. We are excited to get to know your family this school year and offer assistance throughout the admission process. At Stevenson, we are more than a school: we are a community. It is our fundamental understanding that each child arrives to our community as an entirely unique individual, and it is both our responsibility and opportunity to learn how that individual processes, grows, struggles, and thrives.
In Stevenson School’s lower and middle divisions, we believe that how we teach is equally as important as what we teach. We prepare students for continued academic success; kindle their delight in learning, and help them shape a joyful life.
