About the School
- St. Stephen's Lutheran School was founded in 1967 with the goal of providing top quality academic education in the context of Christian faith and learning.
- In the first years, the school was housed in the parish house.
- As the school grew in size year by year, it become obvious that more space was necessary.
- The church soon acquired the property on the north side of Newkirk Avenue across the street from the church.
- Here the school buildings were constructed where they still stand today.
- St. Stephen's Lutheran School is a neighborhood school in the heart of Flatbush, NY. Our student body and our faculty make up a melting pot representing many nations and cultures.
- We are a small school, with small classes, which affords us the opportunity to offer each student individualized care and attention.
- Through the years, St. Stephen's has stood for outstanding academic education and Christian faith formation in the Flatbush neighborhood of Brooklyn.
- Our alumni have gone on to great high schools and colleges and made outstanding contributions to their communities and their chosen fields.
- Today, St. Stephen's serves children from pre-kindergarten to 8th grade.
- Together we are seeking to carry St. Stephen's tradition of academic excellence into the future.
