The Steward School Reviews

Steward is an education community like no other in that it is more than a school. Steward has the unique ability to really make it feel like home! From the faculty that truly enjoys what they do--seen both in the ways the care for and respect their students, but also in how the engage, challenge and support them--- to the many campus offerings through sports, theater, clubs and more--- to the families that attend that not only want what's best for their children, but also rally around and support everyone's children--you genuinely feel a great sense of care, pride and love for the school and its community! We fell in love with it from the minute our children set foot on campus and that love has only grown deeper with each passing year! We are confident that Steward will not only care for and challenge our children while they attend the school, but also set them up for a successful future where they will continue to take the values and tools learned here and thrive!

Review The Steward School

The Steward School has changed my currently enrolled child's life so dramatically and for the better. I moved to my locality in search of the best public schools and was left wanting more. My husband says I had chased great schools, moving twice to accommodate, until we landed at Steward. The small class sizes, individualized attention, focus on Inclusivity and Diversity, sports, etc are all unmatched compared to our experience outside of Steward. We couldn't be happier and I am a proud parent of two Spartans - one rising 9th grader and one rising JK!

The “Steward” School means just that, the faculty are in fact Stewards: of childhood, community, education and well-being. While the school itself is modern and innovative it also provides warmth, support and insight into the education of children. Gone is the fabled "race to nowhere" that has been the result of high-pressure courses and high stakes testing in school. Rigorous academics are certainly there but so is community, care and kindness. They have threaded the needle perfectly between attention to the individual while also working towards the whole of their community, on a local and global scale. The teachers know their students as does the administration. The middle school director, Susan Atkinson is a standout!
