St. Stephen's School is a Roman Catholic school located in Chandigarh, India.
The school was founded by an Anglo-Indian Catholic Principal Harold Anthony Patrick Carver in 1982. The school is affiliated to the Indian Certificate of Secondary Education (ICSE) board.
The school was started on 12 April 1982, as a primary school from nursery to class five with a staff of twelve members. Located in three bungalows in sector eight, arrangements were later made in sectors nine and eleven until land was allotted in Sector 45 by the UT Administration. When the first batch of Class ten passed out in 1988, the school was upgraded to senior secondary level in 1997.
In October 2010, Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, from the United Kingdom, visited the school. She viewed an exhibition of models on environmental issues and another about festivals and cuisine, which was organized by the UK-India Education and Research Initiative (UKIERI). She also spoke to students at Park View Academy in Haringey, London, which is twinned with St. Stephen's, via a video link.[1][2]
The school is housed in its own four-story building with over 2400 students and 165 staff members.
Teams represent the school in state and national level competitions. Sports and games include cricket, association football, carrom, gymnastics, judo, karate and soft tennis. The school also runs a cricket academy.
