We came to St Stephens with the sure thought that private Christian education was out of reach for us financially. We came away amazed with the cost of a school and community that has proved immeasurably enriching both to our children and our family. Our children think and reason better then many high school children we know and their breadth of knowledge at a young age is a joy to behold. More then anything else however is their continual immersion in the Word of God. From the start with memorizing the books of the Bible to their understanding of deeper meaning in the stories themselves they are being given a level of understanding of the Bible usually reserved for higher education. To see it being done in a loving Christian community is just the icing on the cake. We cannot promise you will love it here, but we have and think you will too given the chance. read more

Initially, we chose this school because it was within walking distance. Our child is in Kindergarten and has completely blossomed this year. I have been overwhelmed by the quality of this school. Not only are the teachers exceptional, but they genuinely care about your child's success, you can tell that they love God. The environment is structured, caring, and they make learning really fun. They are continually improving and asking for feedback. I have not interacted with all of the staff, but the ones that I have met and worked with have consistently exemplified such respect and care towards their students that I have been very impressed. Their art program is award winning as well! I like that there is the ability to volunteer, it makes it feel like a family where everyone pitches in. I would highly recommend this school to anyone. read more

Our kids have thrived at St. Stephens and we have been so thankful for the school. If you are looking for a school that will provide both a quality education, but also partner with you as the parent for character development and the values that are important, definitely consider Saint Stephens Academy in Beaverton. If there are issues that your student may be having the administration and teachers are willing to engage to support as well. If you are considering alternate schooling options, whether it be full time private school, or part time/Co-operative/collaborative homeschooling (Covenant Classical), it's definitely worth checking out and considering if this could be a good option for your family. read more

My son has been attending SSA for almost three years now. We are so happy to find such a nurturing environment for him. He really needed the small class size, which was not happening in public school. My son is in the 4th grade with 11 children. I have another child who is 5 years older, she went through the public school system, and I can honestly say, the depth of the curriculum is unparalleled. Grammar and parsing sentences, these are things that my 14 year-old does know about, and she's in honors English in high-school. That's because they do not teach it in public school. All the classes are great. I only wish there could be an accelerated math track. read more

We absolutely love this school. We moved here last year and are so pleased to have discovered St. Stephen's Academy. Our children were received and welcomed by both faculty and students. They are thriving here and receiving an amazing Classical Christian Education. Stem opportunities include programming, robotics, and science labs. One of my kids is really enjoying an art class. They have made several bowls on the pottery wheel, and colored them. Small class sizes allow the teachers to really get to know the students. I know my children are well cared for and the administration has the students best interest in mind. read more

Our family has been at St. Stephen's for 9 years and I am so glad that we found this gem. It has been a learning experience for me, realizing the difference and value of a classical education. This way of teaching is giving my children the immense gift of learning to think critically in all areas of their lives. My 15 year old thinks more clearly than most adults and credits her education at SSA. She has long-standing and great relationships with her teachers. Every time one of my kids gets a new teacher, I am surprised by how exceptional they are. How great to have a 5 star teacher every year! read more

We're so thankful for this school!! Our daughter started part-way through the first term last fall. and was so warmly welcomed into her class. We especially appreciate that she is receiving an academically rigorous education in a small, grace-filled school environment; that St. Stephen's engages the whole student, purposefully pursuing character development; that teaching flows from a Christ-centered worldview; and that school community is filled with teachers, staff and families who are dedicated to this classical and Christian education. We're so very glad to be part of St. Stephen's! read more

SSA has been a wonderful blessing for our entire family. Our three children are learning, growing, and thriving in an environment that challenges them academically and encourages them spiritually. The teachers, staff, and faculty are kind and display godliness in their conduct and character. I have volunteered as a coach for many years and have seen firsthand how the kids push each other to do better in a positive way. The students are hardworking, respectful, and have a lot of joy, which comes out of their desire to honor God. read more

This is our 4th year at SSA and we LOVE it! When we knew it was time to make the switch from homeschool to a traditional setting, we felt unsure about finding a school that would not only be classical, but also a truly Christian environment where the Faculty and Staff love Jesus and love my kids. St. Stephen's has far, far exceeded our expectations academically, and we are so impressed by the level of care and concern shown for the character, integrity, and honesty in our children. Thank you SSA for investing in our family. read more

SSA is great. The best aspect of SSA is how much the teachers care about my son. Three years in a row, I have felt like my son's teacher for that year truly cares about him, and takes joy in his success. It makes me glad to know my child is going about his day, learning and being challenged by someone who cares. Another great aspect of SSA is the focus on academic excellence. My child is learning more, and growing his knowledge faster than I believe he would at other schools in the area. read more

It's a great school with a wonderful christian, classical curriculum. My kids wake up almost every morning happy to go to school. They come telling me about what they learned. From how bridges are built and physical fitness classes to Latin. It always amazes me how much they learn. On top of that the curriculum is strictly christian and seeing my children grow in their love for Jesus is something I cant even begin to describe how much joy that bring me. read more

We have enjoyed having our daughter in preschool this year at St. Stephen's. The days and hours are very convenient, and I love that drop off and pick up can happen from your car. She loves the songs and art projects. The teacher is amazing and shows so much love to her and our family. She is getting a good introduction to numbers, letters, shapes, and colors along with good, Christian values. We have been very pleased. read more

The opportunities to develop the skills needed for leadership are available in abundance. One characteristic that we hold dear is the respect that we see to adults and to authority. The variety of areas in which to develop are fit to each our grandsons: robotics, poetry, law, art, music, athletics. We have four grandsons in St. Stevens Academy and we are amazed at the quality of education they are receiving. read more
