Saint Stephen's Episcopal School is a private college preparatory school affiliated with the Episcopal Church. The school is accredited by the Florida Council of Independent Schools. It is located in Bradenton, Florida. Founded in 1970, SSES has 650 students in grades Pre-K3 through 12.
In 1970, a group of community leaders met with Christ Episcopal Church to propose the establishment of a school dedicated to maintaining high academic standards and offering small class sizes. This materialized as Saint Stephen’s Episcopal School, which saw its first class of 11 seniors graduate in 1975.[1]
Today, Saint Stephen’s Episcopal School, or SSES, has a 35-acre campus and serves Pre-K through 12th grade.[2] SSES has also achieved State Championships in a multitude of sports on 20 diffrent occasions.[3]
