St. Benedict's Earns STEM Certification From Cognia

We are absolutely delighted to announce that St. Benedict's Episcopal School has achieved STEM Certification from Cognia! This prestigious recognition is a testament to our unwavering commitment to providing exceptional education in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. 

STEM education at St. Benedict’s ignites students’ curiosity, encourages collaboration, develops resiliency, and allows for creative expression.

RSVP Today for Our 15th Anniversary Kickoff Party

We invite you to join us for our 15-Year Celebration Kickoff event on campus on September 21, 2024. From 4:00 to 4:30 P.M., it will be the New Parent Happy Hour, and from 4:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., current parents, alumni, supporters, and friends can join the party!

As one of the biggest celebrations in St. Benedict's history, this event will feature live music, food, drinks, and festivities you won't want to miss. Please note that this is an adults-only event.

Curriculum Night for Grades K-4

Parents are invited to learn about each grade level’s curriculum, ask questions, and meet the teachers. Curriculum presentations will be sent by grade level prior to the event, and we will begin each evening with questions and a quick presentation in the Nave. That short presentation will be followed by some fun and fellowship in the classrooms with the teachers. 

This is an event each evening from 5:00 to 6:00 P.M. We ask that children not accompany adults during the event. If you have a St. B's student who needs childcare while you attend Curriculum Night, please email stingerssquad@stbs.org to check for availability (you will pay for 1 hour of care at the Stingers Squad drop-in rate of $16.00 per hour). 

PLEASE NOTE: if your child is already registered for Stingers Squad until 6:00 pm on the day your family will attend Curriculum Night, there is no need to register (the aftercare fees you have already paid include care). 

Middle School Madness

Middle school parents, we invite you to join us for Middle School Madness (Curriculum Night). This event will provide a glimpse into a typical school day for your student. You will have the opportunity to meet with each of your student’s teachers and rotate through mini-classes.
