HOW CAN I APPLY?

"St. Stephen’s provides a classical education which inspires both head and heart of each child. At St. Stephen’s we also found a community of joy, authenticity and service where a school day is more than a schedule of classes, but a canvas upon which the rich color of each individual child is not only valued but intentional."

Why I work at St. Stephen's: I work at St. Stephen's because it is my desire to see it become the finest classical and Christian school there is.
Philosophy of teaching: I believe that to teach well one must remain a student himself all of his days. The excitement I get from understanding something new or something profound is what I trust I and the teachers that work for this school can encourage and bring to pass in our students. This can only happen, however, if we know our material expertly and understand our students as image bearers of God.
