Well-Deserved Kudos

The Steward School has been named one of the best private schools in the Richmond area by Richmond magazine. Steward’s inclusion on the publication’s “Best of 2024” list is a testament to the school’s commitment to providing an extraordinary educational experience within a close-knit campus. We are grateful for the community’s support of Steward and the readers who voted for us! 

We are proud to add this distinction to other recent honors: 

In the same "Best of" issue, our Summer Experience program (now in its 40th year!) was ranked one of the best children’s summer camp programs by Richmond magazine. 

Steward was ranked #1 by Niche in the 2024 Best K-12 Private Schools and Best Private High Schools in the Richmond area categories. We were also ranked the #1 Best College Prep Private High School. Steward as a whole was given an A+ grade by the Niche site and is included in its “America’s Best Schools” designation.

Also in 2024, The Steward School was ranked a top workplace for the ninth consecutive year by the Richmond Times-Dispatch (the only independent school to make the Top Workplaces list in 2024). In addition, Steward was named a top Private K-12 School in 2024 by Virginia Living magazine. 

Head of School Dan Frank said, “Our faculty, staff, and coaches do more than teach. They get to know our students — and their families — and make ‘community’ more than just a word. It’s a way of life at Steward.” Mr. Frank added, “We opened this school year with full enrollment, which reflects the Richmond community’s awareness of our reputation as a school that prepares students for college and for life. We are exceedingly proud to be recognized for our commitment to enriching students’ lives through a challenging curriculum and an environment of boundless creativity.”
