Directions

To St. Stephen's
From Highway 360/Capital of Texas Highway, turn west onto Westlake Drive (if coming from North Austin, turn right onto Westlake Drive, if coming from South Austin, turn left). Once on Westlake Drive, get into the left lane. The road will curve around and go back up towards Loop 360, and the entrance to St. Stephen's will be on your right.

**Please note that this entrance to the school is not reflected on some online map sites (MapQuest, Google Maps, etc.) or GPS.

** You can find further directions and information on accommodation, if needed, here.

To the Admission Office
Upon entering campus, follow signs to Parking Lot B. After parking, walk to the stairs in the upper north corner of the lot. Follow the stairs and path up to campus. When you reach the top of the path (standing next to the back of a stop sign), look across the street slightly left to see the large school seal on the wall of the lower level of the Becker Library. Follow the path to that seal and enter the double glass doors.
