Stevenson School has long been committed to three aims:
to prepare students for success in school and life beyond school;
to foster their passion for learning and achievement;
to help them shape a joyful life.
Since 1952, Stevenson has offered students opportunities to grow, discover, and shape their futures through a unique and enriching educational experience. At the heart of our mission is a core belief: financial limitations should never prevent any student from fully participating in all that Stevenson offers.
We invite you to help support the next generation of learners and leaders—Pirates who will chart their own paths of discovery and success. Your commitment will help create a more equitable future for our community and provide a richer, deeper educational experience for every student.
Stevenson School is dedicated to making its remarkable educational opportunities accessible to as many deserving students as possible. In FY25, the School awarded $8.0 million in need-based financial aid, with $6.5 million supporting Upper Division students (grades 9–12) and $1.5 million supporting Lower/Middle Division students (PK–8). Of the 172 Upper Division students receiving aid, 119 were local day students who collectively received $3.7 million in financial aid. Approximately 38% of the Lower/Middle Division students (PK-8), all from Monterey County, received financial aid.
Stevenson’s financial assistance goes beyond just tuition assistance. Stevenson provides additional resources that allow high-achieving, motivated students to fully engage in Stevenson’s enriched educational experience. They benefit from comprehensive academic support, health and mental wellness services, and college counseling, while also enjoying a broad range of extracurricular opportunities—including athletics, social events, community service, and volunteering—all of which foster personal growth, leadership, and a well-rounded education.
I am deeply grateful for the assistance that made it possible for me to attend Stevenson, which was an opportunity I would not have had without your support. Because of your generosity, I was able to fully participate in everything Stevenson offers, from inspiring guest lectures to discovering my passion in the theater program, where I built lasting friendships. Leadership opportunities as a club leader, affinity group leader, and theater program leader helped me find my voice and place in the community. These experiences shaped who I am today. None of this would have been possible without the financial aid that opened the door for me. This fall, I will attend Sarah Lawrence College to study technical theater. I’m excited to continue growing just outside New York City, and I’ll carry the strong foundation Stevenson gave me into my next chapter. Thank you for helping make my Stevenson experience possible.
