Hello,

Thank you for your visit request. We are excited to have you share more about your institution with our students. You will be speaking with juniors and seniors during their 6th period lunch. Your visit is scheduled from 1:15-2:00 p.m CST.

First-time visitors are encouraged to pay close attention to the email you will receive a few days prior to your visit, as we will include specific directions and helpful maps as a resource to help navigate our beautiful and expansive campus.

On the day of your visit, our students will be having lunch while attending your presentation. Someone from the College Counseling Office will be there as well.

In addition, please read the brief explanation of our policies, grading system and academic program included here.

Academic Policy and Grading Scale
St. Stephens is a non-ranking high school and uses a nontraditional grading scale. The highest grade in this scale is an H+, which corresponds to 100 on a 100-point scale. It is important to note that grades in the V-range do not equate with conventional B-range grades. Rather, these grades represent a high level of mastery in a subject, comparable to 90-94. The lowest passing grade is P-, which is comparable to 72.

St. Stephens maintains an institutional commitment to the integrity of our grading scale and resistance to grade inflation. Typically, about 1% of each class graduates with an H average or higher; about 48% graduate with a V average or higher.

Academic Program
All Upper School courses at St. Stephens are taught at an honors level or higher, and there are no advanced tracks except in mathematics and Spanish. Although the school does not offer Advanced Placement (AP) courses, our faculty design courses whose depth and complexity go well beyond that of the prescribed AP program.

Reach out if you have any questions.

Warm Regards,
