I have one child attending now and two recently graduated. We were able to offer them options when they looked at high schools. After the Open House and shadowing, each one came home and thanked me for giving them this opportunity. It is hard to imagine a more diverse, motivated, mature group of

We have had 2 children attend Stevenson School in Pebble Beach, CA as boarders from grade 9 - grade 10. The experience was fantastic for us as parents and for both children. The children are completely different from each other. The first is preppy, conservative, athletic and applied to top notch
... Read more small liberal arts schools and was accepted to almost every place that she applied. The second is a great student, artsy, not preppy at all. She has applied to large universities in large US cities. The acceptance letters are arriving now, and so far she is 4 for 4 accepted. The close knit community at Stevenson with both students and teachers is unbelievable. The campus is magical. The expectations of the students is very high, but the easy culture of the school is different from many of the east coast boarding schools. WE HAVE LOVED IT! Read less

Mediocre school, big attitude. Should keep more up to date on new learning and teaching trends. Fine if your child is a self-starter and never has any problems, no illness, no divorce, no death or other upheaval. School can't cope well with different learning styles.

Stevenson School offers adequateacademics--as in any school, the ability and dedication of the teachers runs the gamut. The school provides opportunities that the local public schools do not: wilderness program, great theater/arts program, some sports that other school don't have (e.g., lacrosse), fantastic
... Read more facilities and grounds. What the school lacks, in my opinion, is tolerance of what they seem to perceive as 'weakness'--students who need more emotional support or guidance. At the time that my child attended the school, there were 500 students and not one single qualified counselor on staff. If you are thinking of sending your child to this school, you should look into this. There is a lot of pressure on the students to excel--often, way too much pressure. Read less
