St. Stephen’s School Rome

Location

Overview

Nestling at the foot of the Aventine, the most exclusive of Rome’s seven hills, and a stone’s throw from the city’s great imperial sites, our international, non-profit, non-denominational high school for boarding and day students has built its academic program and reputation on the classical heritage of our host country, Italy, and the rigor of two prestigious educational models: the American, independent college-preparatory curriculum, and the International Baccalaureate Diploma.

The St. Stephen’s Family and our values

At three hundred students, we are small; fifty-eight boarders constitute our ‘nuclear’ family. The experiential dimension of our curriculum, which includes an extensive trip program, confers a ‘hands-on’ feel to our academics, and our location, in the heart of the Eternal City and at the crossroads of Europe, provides a rich cultural context in which to learn and grow. The faculty at St. Stephen’s are scholars, artists, writers, and scientists who are passionate about their subjects and illuminate the minds and lives of the students they teach each day and every year. Our students come from all over the world to pursue their high school education in an atmosphere of scholarly endeavor, creative exploration, and multicultural exchange. The motto of the School’s founders in 1964 articulates the dedication to academic excellence shared by students and faculty alike:

  • Mens (mind): the ability to think critically, creatively, and scientifically, coupled with a good dose of natural curiosity;
  • Voluntas (will): the motivation to succeed and the potential to excel academically;
  • Gratia (influence): interpreted as personal and social integrity, cooperation and concern for others, and commitment to community, both local and global.

The Pillars of Academic Excellence

We are an English-language international school in the heart of Rome whose small size and stimulating collaborative environment offer students a transformative college preparatory experience anchored by the highest standards of academic excellence. St. Stephen’s is a four-year, non-profit, independent, non-denominational, day and boarding school that draws on the strengths of both American and European education traditions to give our students a deeper understanding of the world grounded in Western culture.

Through close mentoring, intellectual inquiry, and inspired teaching in a small class setting, we motivate students to reach their fullest potential and take responsibility for their academic achievement, which readies them for the most competitive universities on both sides of the Atlantic and the joys and benefits of lifelong learning. We foster a warm, collaborative environment – enriched by a vibrant boarding program — so young people gain the confidence to find their true balance and engage fully as caring citizens in a diverse international community. We examine the rich historical layers of Rome as a source for academic inspiration and encourage students to engage its dynamic urban environment. We strive to provide a holistic preparatory experience that lays the foundation for continued academic achievement and a fulfilling life.

In 1964, St. Stephen’s School was established as a non-profit, tax-exempt corporation in Connecticut, fueled solely by a bold dream. The School’s four founders, led by Dr. John O. Patterson, headmaster for thirteen years at the Kent School in Connecticut, had nothing tangible to offer the new corporation. They brought, instead, their dream and a combined total of more than one hundred years of experience in secondary school education. The founders included two longtime Kent associates of Dr. Patterson: Raydon Ronshaugen, former Assistant Headmaster and Curriculum Director at Kent School; Robert E.K. Rourke, a brilliant teacher and author who was a leader in American secondary school mathematics education; and F.D.L. Stewart, who had extensive teaching and administrative experience as a colleague of E.K. Rourke’s at Pickering College, Ontario. Together, they focused their expertise on developing a strong program of instruction to meet the entrance requirements of the finest American colleges.

The School, they agreed, “must be more than just another school; it must be a pace-setter for American education abroad, whose only excuse for being is excellence.”

The school attracted twenty-six teachers from renowned American prep schools like Choate Rosemary Hall, Philips Andover, Kent, Eaglebrook, and Gillman. They were joined by faculty from Italy, France, Norway, and other nations; all united in their dedication to bringing this pioneering academic vision to life. Together, they welcomed a diverse student body of one hundred and fifty students, half of whom were boarders representing various corners of the globe, from Addis Ababa to Medford, Oregon.

St. Stephen’s School provided a first-class curriculum with the best elements of a classical liberal arts education, including two years of Latin or Greek. Its founders chose Rome because they believed the city to be „the symbol and repository of the enduring ethical, cultural and religious values of the West” and „one of the most cosmopolitan international crossroads of the modern world.”

In 1975, St. Stephen’s became the first school in Italy to offer the International Baccalaureate (IB) program. Two years later, it celebrated its first two IB Diploma graduates. One of the first schools in Europe to adopt the International Baccalaureate, the School’s IB program produces strong results with an average diploma score of 35 points.

Throughout its history, St. Stephen’s School has earned a well-deserved reputation for academic rigor, both in Rome and beyond. After relocating twice, the school now resides in a spacious villa that was once a convent, nestled in the heart of Rome’s historic center, within close proximity to cultural marvels such as the Colosseum, Circus Maximus, and the Roman Forum.

While experiencing rapid growth over the past two decades, the school has remained committed to engaging with both the local and international communities in Rome and providing support to U.S. citizens living abroad. The founders' original dream of establishing a school driven by the pursuit of excellence, the holistic development of its community members, and maintaining the highest standards in all aspects remains vibrant and alive today.

Set against the backdrop of Rome’s unparalleled historical and artistic heritage, St. Stephen’s School embraces a global perspective, a commitment to service, and a dedication to fostering world citizenship. It stands as a testament to the founders' visionary aspirations and remains firmly rooted in its tradition of academic excellence.

Academics

Nestling at the foot of the Aventine, the most exclusive of Rome’s seven hills, and a stone’s throw from the city’s great imperial sites, our international non-denominational high school for Boarding and Day students has built its academic program and reputation on the classical heritage of our host country, Italy, and the rigor of two prestigious educational models: the American, independent college-preparatory curriculum, and the IB Diploma.

A distinctive faculty of accomplished scholars bring the highest level of instruction to a diverse student cohort. Our emphasis on the School's core values of care, independence, scholarship, integrity, and creativity guides St. Stephen's students to become architects of their futures, and engaged, motivated, global citizens.

Extra-curricular

Teaching and learning are integral to the School’s mission, and its charge to develop the character and potential of each student.

As we maintain the highest standards in all areas, both in and out of the classroom, we use the past to inform our learning, we encourage a passion for thorough knowledge, and we provide challenging intellectual opportunities to offer an enriching scholastic experience.

Students come to St. Stephen’s because they are high achievers looking to make their academic mark and distinguish themselves in their individual scholarly pursuits.

The International Baccalaureate and liberal arts foundation at the core of the academic experience promote learner autonomy, allowing students to assume full ownership for their educational choices. A 13:1 student-teacher ratio and an academic program uniquely tailored to the interests and strengths of each student create a learning environment that allows each student to achieve his or her personal best.

Boarding

In a close-knit family atmosphere, we offer a diverse group of 58 boarders a comfortable, positive, safe and stimulating environment that values all of its members. We promote personal and academic excellence, fully supporting students as they seek their individual best and develop independence in all facets of their lives.

Students mature through daily choices and decisions, and through a collaborative effort involving students, faculty and parents, we sustain a healthy, supportive community that values each individual during his or her transformative time here. We cultivate relationships based on warmth, mutual respect and genuine concern, essential qualities for living together harmoniously in a small community. The culturally rich and vibrant setting of Rome affords us endless opportunities for exploration and discovery and figures prominently in the lives of St. Stephen's students.
