At St. Stephen’s, our Episcopal faith and Montessori philosophy guide us toward a bold and inclusive vision of community. Rooted in our founding values of dignity, service, and compassion, we are committed to nurturing an environment where every individual is seen, heard, and empowered to thrive.
We celebrate the rich tapestry of our community—including differences in race, ethnicity, nationality, religion, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, socioeconomic background, learning style, and ability. In true Montessori spirit, we recognize and honor each child as an individual learner with unique strengths and gifts. Every person is valued as a beloved child of God and an essential part of our community.
Equity is central to our mission. Like the Montessori classroom, where every child is given the materials, time, and guidance they need to grow, we actively work to dismantle barriers—whether systemic or cultural—that may hinder full participation. Through equitable policies, resources, and support systems, we ensure that every member of our community has the opportunity to flourish.
Inclusion at St. Stephen’s means intentionally creating a culture where all voices are welcomed and respected. Montessori classrooms embody this by encouraging collaboration, peer teaching, and student choice, ensuring that every learner’s perspective is valued.
Maria Montessori believed that education is the most powerful force for peace. Inspired by this vision, we cultivate empathy, intercultural understanding, and social justice through curriculum and experiences that reflect diverse stories and perspectives. By practicing restorative approaches and engaging in community service, students learn to act justly, think critically, and lead with compassion.
Grounded in our Episcopal heritage and informed by Montessori’s call for peace education, we honor and respect each person’s faith journey. Our chapel traditions, spiritual practices, and communal worship invite all to draw near, while affirming diverse beliefs and expressions within our shared spiritual life.
