PRC, Hong Kong, and Taiwan Applicant Instructions

For years, St. Stephen's has had an excellent relationship with students from the People's Republic of China, Hong Kong and Taiwan who have thrived academically at our school. Due to the increase in the number of applicants from these countries/territories, we have established campus visit and interview procedures for students who are from these areas.

Campus Visit Days

These days are scheduled for families from PRC, Hong Kong and Taiwan only.

Your campus visit will include a Question & Answer session, campus and dorm tour, lunch with current international students, and student and parent interviews. This visit allows you to learn more about St. Stephen’s academic, residential, and extracurricular opportunities.

There are a limited number of spaces available each day and reservations are required. Applicants from PRC, Hong Kong and Taiwan may only visit campus on the dates listed below. Visit Days are open to boarding students applying to grades 8-10.

In order to be considered for the first round of admission decisions, students registered for the February 9 Visit Day must have completed all parts of the Application for Admission, with the exception of the interview, before arriving on campus.

2018-2019 Visit Days

 
Summer Campus Tours
 
Although summer is not the best time to tour a school (no students, faculty or programming to see) we do offer abbreviated facility tours on most Mondays and Fridays in June and July. An Admission Director will lead the tour and answer questions along the way. Please wear weather-appropriate, casual clothing and comfortable walking shoes. A reservation is required to attend the tour. Educational consultants and tour groups requesting a campus visit are asked call to arrange an appointment.
