The best independent schools pose distinctive choices to
parents who are deciding how they would like to educate their children. The Steward School is a mission driven school, where education and relationships are anchored in a shared set of community principles.  The school takes its name from the ancient notion of stewardship, which throughout history has denoted responsibility, dependability, dedication and trust. A steward is one who applies these qualities with faith to a cause worth believing in.

As our first Headmaster said about the qualities of stewardship, “Great intellects without it fail, while dedicated ‘pluggers’ possessing it are held in high esteem and are deemed successful.”  The goal of the school is to develop great
intellects and pluggers into active, purposeful, contributing
citizens, who are aware of their responsibilities, to themselves,
to their school and to society.  In the process, our students
learn to respect their intellectual heritage, and learn to commit
themselves to service and continuing personal growth.

Learning how to care lies at the heart of the affective curriculum of the school. We seek to value and support the uniqueness of each individual’s growth and genuine expression of who he or she is becoming. We offer challenging and supportive experiences in academics, arts, and athletics as opportunities to learn the skills necessary to care for oneself, care for each other, care for the community, and the world.

At The Steward School, students, faculty and staff live each day to the fullest, in a genuine effort to embody this ideal, knowing that the pursuit will make them better persons and friends, better leaders and supporters, better students, citizens, actors, artists and athletes. To us, the common pursuit of our ideals, by everyone in the community, makes this one of the best schools.
