The Philosophy Behind Our Extracurriculars
At St. Stephen’s Academy, we believe that education extends beyond the confines of traditional classroom learning. Our commitment to a classical Christian education is embodied in rigorous academic pursuits and a rich array of extracurricular activities. We understand that each child is uniquely gifted, and our extracurriculars are designed to nurture these talents in a supportive, Christian environment. From arts to science, public speaking to engineering, our programs encourage students to explore their passions, develop new skills, and build character. Here, extracurriculars are not just hobbies; they are integral to our mission of developing well-rounded individuals who are prepared not only for academic success but also for meaningful, engaged lives.
Poetry Out Loud
At St. Stephen’s Academy, students from grades 7-12 have the unique opportunity to participate in the national Poetry Out Loud competition. This event transcends mere memorization; it explores language in its most elevated form. Our students delve into poetry, learning to communicate its profound meanings. This aligns seamlessly with our rhetoric program’s goals, particularly in enhancing public speaking skills. We take pride in our students’ achievements, with several advancing beyond regional competitions to the state level, showcasing their exceptional understanding and articulation of poetry
Robotics
Our Middle School students can join the robotics team, participating in the FIRST LEGO League tournaments. This program introduces them to engineering concepts, honing teamwork, presentation, and decision-making skills. Using LEGO Mindstorms parts and EV3 robots, students build fully autonomous robots capable of completing specific missions. Additionally, each team undertakes an innovation project, engaging with industry experts and businesses.
