SSSAS is a JK-12 college preparatory Episcopal Church School in the Diocese of Virginia that educates boys and girls from junior kindergarten through grade 12. SSSAS serves students from across Northern Virginia, Maryland, and Washington, D.C. We have three distinct campuses, each uniquely tailored to meet the needs of the students within. The Lower School, grades JK-5, is located on Fontaine Street, the Middle School, 6-8, is located on Braddock Road the Upper School, 9-12, is located on St. Stephen's Road.
At St. Stephen's and St. Agnes School, we live our mission every single day. We don't just say the words; we use them. To help our students succeed in a complex and changing world, we seek to inspire a passion for learning, an enthusiasm for athletic and artistic endeavors, a striving for excellence, a celebration of diversity, and a commitment to service. Our mission is to pursue goodness and knowledge and honor the unique value of each of our members as a child of God in a caring community.
At St. Stephen's and St. Agnes School, we set the highest academic standards through a demanding college preparatory curriculum. The academic program gives our students a firm grasp of fundamental skills and develops their ability to think creatively, critically, and independently. Also, the curriculum fosters an appreciation for the diversity and interconnectedness of human experience. We challenge our students to ask more questions, consider other points of view, and never settle for the easy answer.
We teach our Saints to meet the world with fearless curiosity. To become comfortable with the unfamiliar--an idea, a way of knowing, a perspective, a vision. To expect support as they gain knowledge through success and failure. Saints learn that taking healthy risks is the key to learning and innovating. That failure leads to growth rather than defeat.
They know it's safe to explore new territory, to step out of their comfort zones. This generates joy in learning that, in turn, increases intellectual engagement and understanding of all ages. And the satisfaction of accomplishment--the attainment of academic, artistic, or athletic excellence--redoubles the enthusiasm and drives a desire to try even more.
At St. Stephen's and St. Agnes, we know that there is way more out there than we can ever imagine. There are rich, diverse cultures and histories, colorful traditions, and untouched terrains. There are students, just like ours, on the other side of the world. At SSSAS, we prepare our students to do more than stare wide-eyed out into the world. We prepare them to explore, collaborate, respect, cooperate, and value the world outside of our community. We prepare them to serve. We prepare them to go.
We ensure that our students are exposed to and understand world religions, cultures, and economies. We focus on global issues and access information using a variety of international sources. We allow students to communicate in languages other than English and work cross-culturally, connecting through interdisciplinary projects and international programs. Our school is guided by a global vision to prepare our graduates for today's vibrant, competitive, and emerging marketplace.
