TUITION REFUND PLAN
In use at over 1,200 leading independent schools and colleges, the Tuition Refund Plan refunds a portion of the net annual tuition when the student is withdrawn or dismissed for covered reasons. All families electing to pay tuition in installments are required to purchase the Tuition Refund Plan at the rate of 1.5% of outstanding tuition and fees for the 2024-25 academic year, as reduced by the enrollment deposit, discounts, tuition remission, financial aid, and other reductions.

February Events!
Join us this February in celebrating our love for our community and supporting those in need with Kids’ Meals, an amazing organization that has been serving the Houston community since 2006 by providing meals to preschool-aged children in need. The PTO will provide paper lunch bags for each family to decorate and return to school later in the month. In addition to decorating bags (ideas from Kids’ Meals can be found in this flyer), we will collect applesauce pouches to help stock the Kids’ Meals pantry and allow them to provide meals to more kiddos.
We will collect decorated bags and applesauce pouches on Friday, February 23, 2024, at the front office during conference check-in and on Tuesday, March 5, 2024, in the main parking lot by Pecore Hall at drop-off time.

Bulldog Compliments
At St. Stephen’s, we have an easy way for anyone in the St. Stephen’s community to show their appreciation for a faculty, staff, or leadership team member. We call it sending a “Bulldog Compliment.”
Here is how it works. Click the Send A Bulldog Compliment image and follow the prompts. It only takes a few clicks, and you are done.
All compliments are anonymous and will be sent to the person (or persons) you choose to recognize. There is no limit to how many you can send, so be as generous as you wish!
