St. Stephen's Episcopal School

Founded in 1971, St. Stephen’s Episcopal School is located in Houston’s vibrant Montrose neighborhood. The school is celebrated for its commitment to social justice, diversity, and an inclusive spiritual environment that welcomes families of all religious backgrounds. Its educational philosophy uniquely blends a Montessori foundation in the early years with the structured rigors of the International Baccalaureate (IB) framework for older students.

As an IB World School, St. Stephen's offers both the Middle Years Programme (MYP) and the Diploma Programme (DP), ensuring a global perspective and high academic standards. The school is one of the few in the United States to offer a continuous path from Montessori early childhood education into the IB curriculum. Notable for its small class sizes and personalized attention, the school prepares students to be critical thinkers and compassionate global citizens.
