St Stephens Christian Academy

Historical Background The St. Stephen’s Christian Academy was established in 2004 when Pastor William A. Gray III asked Mrs. Lucille Jennings, a former school principal, to help implement a Christian based early education school. Pastor Gray wanted a school that would help reduce academic failure in students. Mrs. Jennings studied many programs resulting in a curriculum respected by parents and educators for its ability to produce successful students. Mrs. Jennings agreed to serve gratis as the administrator. When the academy first opened, our kindergarten enrollment was 6. As the years have progressed the enrollment has increased resulting in the additions of 3 additional grades. We know serve kindergarten through the third grade.

St. Stephens Christian Academy is approved by the Maryland Department of the Non-Public Schools, and is a member of The Association of Christian Schools International.

Parents have an opportunity to meet and to support our program through the Parent Teacher Coalition and our open door policy.
