About St. Stephen's

Mission Statement

St. Stephen's creates opportunities to promote student self-esteem and encourage student leadership by developing a sense of responsibility, self- discipline, cooperation, and respect for others.

St. Stephen's works towards creating a climate of learning that encourages risk and exploration. Acknowledging that students acquire knowledge in various learning styles and that rates of maturation differ among students, St. Stephen's provides for these individual differences and learning styles.

These goals are accomplished by:

1. Stimulating students' interest in discussions that are challenging and thought- provoking.
2. Applying current classroom management techniques to establish a productive learning environment.
3. Providing a variety of instructional materials, as well as innovative and enriching programs to enhance learning in the classroom.
4. Developing positive interpersonal relationships, teacher to teacher, teacher to student, student to student, as well as teacher to parent.
5. Fostering a sense of fairness, respect, responsibility and courtesy.
6. Creating a connection between Armenian and American cultures.

The St. Stephen's Armenian Elementary School strives to maintain high academic standards for its curriculum and endeavors to educate the whole child in a nurturing and friendly environment where learning is an enjoyable experience.
