Our Vision and Future Goals
St. Stephen’s Academy is a non-profit organization under section 501(c)(3) and we rely heavily on our available financial resources to pursue and fulfill our vision. Our tuition and fees cover around 95% of our operational budget, and we are committed to keeping tuition costs as low as possible. To continue growing and improving our programs, we rely on prayerful gifts to the school’s annual fund or special fundraising campaigns. Every gift, regardless of the amount, makes a difference.
Our fundraising efforts are essential, both for covering expenses and building towards the future. We aim for 100% participation in our giving programs. Full participation in giving is crucial for two reasons: it shows that the entire school community is working together to provide the best possible education for our children, and it is a critical factor that foundations consider when reviewing our grant applications.
Over the years, we have been blessed by the generous gifts of individuals and agencies, such as the Murdock Trust, which have enabled us to have our current facility without any debt. We are very grateful for these contributions. Our school board has developed a strategic plan that involves moving the school to a permanent long-term location in the next few years. The goal is to have a full PreK-12 school on one site, which will enable us to achieve our curricular and cultural goals more effectively.
