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 its founding in 1952, Stevenson School has been a place where students can transform their lives through exceptional educational and life-enriching experiences. To ensure that Stevenson is truly transformational, we believe that limited financial resources should not be a barrier to a child's full participation in the Stevenson experience. This mission-driven commitment adds immense value to every student's journey, enriching our classrooms with a diverse student body representing a wide range of racial, ethnic, and geographic backgrounds, with a special focus on those historically underrepresented in independent schools. Our ultimate goal is to enroll the brightest and most deserving students from across our local communities and the nation, providing them with unrestricted access to the opportunities and resources necessary for a joyful and fulfilling life. In the words of Robert Louis Stevenson, we strive to equip them with "the strength for that which is to come."
Attending Stevenson has been an extraordinary experience, one that has profoundly shaped my academic and personal growth. The opportunities for learning and self-discovery have been abundant, thanks in large part to the financial assistance I was given. Whether in the classroom or through extracurricular activities, Stevenson provided me with a nurturing environment where I was able to thrive with a sense of belonging and community that is truly special. Before high school, I never seriously considered attending a four-year university; it seemed out of reach. However, because of the foundation given to me at Stevenson, I was able to gain admission to some of my top-choice schools, including Penn State University, Cal State Long Beach, and Drexel University. As I set off on the next chapter of my journey, I do so with immense gratitude for Stevenson's donors’ generosity and their belief in the power of education to transform lives.
