St. Stephen's School

St. Stephen's School Non-profit, non-denominational, co-educational, American international day & boarding IB World School St. Founded in 1964, St.

Stephen's School is a co-educational, non-denominational, boarding and day school, enrolling students from age 14-19 in grades 9-12 and for a postgraduate year. Stephen's provides a demanding classical liberal arts education taking full advantage of its location in the historic center of Rome. The school is modeled on the American independent school tradition, and offers a rigorous program based on well-rounded and comprehensive preparation by each student in six major academic areas: English, Foreign and Classical Language, History, Experimental Science, Mathematics, Arts. Primary objectives are academic excellence, fellowship and cooperation among students and faculty, and the development of students as independent, responsible, and involved members of the larger world community. The curriculum prepares students for the American high school diploma, including a variety of Advanced Placements (AP) subjects, and the International Baccalaureate (IB) which allows students to enter universities worldwide.

We are thrilled to share that St. Stephen's alumna Barbara Bitondo '87 is launching an extraordinary fall exhibition season! Her solo show, Luminous Horizons, opens September 10 at Whittemore House in Washington, DC, featuring vibrant fiber constructions, botanical monoprints, watercolors, and sculptural works.

Barbara credits her international outlook—nurtured during her time at St. Stephen's and expanded through her career with the World Bank Group across Africa, Asia, Europe, and North America, as a continuous source of inspiration for her art. 🌍🏛️

Her work will also be featured this fall at Gallery B in Bethesda, Willow Street Gallery, and in Paris!

Upcoming Lyceum Talk: "Managing Libya’s Cultural Heritage"

We are excited to invite our extended St. Stephen's community—students, parents, faculty, staff, and alumni—to an inspiring talk by expert Prof. Will Wootton (King's College London) on Wednesday, September 9th at 5:30 p.m.

Looking back on 20 years of working in Libya, Prof. Wootton will explore how conservation, archaeology, and local community partnerships help protect heritage in challenging environments. Learn about the ground-level work that helped remove the Old Town of Ghadames from UNESCO’s List of World Heritage in Danger and the ongoing efforts to protect sites like Sabratha and Leptis Magna.

This presentation is organized as part of the Lyceum’s Rome Beyond Rome Series, ahead of an exciting community trip exploring Tripoli, Leptis Magna, Sabratha, and Ghadames this October!

Monday, August 31st, marked the first official training session for our brand-new Grade 10 Student Ambassadors! 🌟

These stellar students are the face of St. Stephen’s, passionate, proud, and dedicated to leading by example. But great leadership comes with high standards: our Ambassadors maintain top academic grades and exemplary behavior across campus. 📚✨

To our incoming Grade 9 students: take note! Keep up the hard work, stay engaged, and bring your best energy every day. Next year, it could be YOU stepping up to represent St. Stephen's!

Last week, we welcomed the wonderful Class of 2016 back to campus to celebrate their 10-Year Reunion!

Graduates reconnected over a lovely evening aperitivo in the courtyard and took a guided tour of the school to see what’s changed (and what’s stayed blissfully the same!) since their graduation day. From reminiscing about shared classrooms to catching up on a decade of post-St. Stephen's adventures, the energy and warmth in the cortile was truly special. 🎓❤️

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for this milestone occasion. You will always have a home here on Via Aventina!
