St Stephen's School is an English Medium, Co-educational Institution, with the aim of developing an all-round ability of the students with a balanced training that will lead to a proper appreciation of academic, athletic, ethical and moral excellence which goes into the making of a complete person. The challenge is to create an architectural environment that will not only support, but inspire an educational process to act as a link between home and the world since education at school is a continuation and extension of parental education at home. Each Stephenian should always aim higher, that is why the School Motto is "Semper Sursum" meaning Always Aim Higher.
