What We Offer

Teaching at Allen-Stevenson 

Our faculty become experts in the field of educating boys in a TK-8 learning environment. 

At Allen-Stevenson, we understand how boys learn and consider the relationship between teachers and boys to be one of the basic building blocks in our educational program. As relational learners, boys flourish when they develop a meaningful connection with their teachers. Our skilled and passionate faculty know that building a relationship with students is essential to understanding what makes each boy tick as they develop their intellect and social-emotional intelligence. Allen-Stevenson’s supportive, engaging learning environment bolsters students’ confidence and ability to take ownership of their learning.

What A-S Faculty Have to Say

As I examine how I can grow and become a better teacher, I appreciate the wisdom I can get from the many talented people who work here. They push me to expand my thinking and explore new avenues of learning that I might not think of on my own. I also love the collaboration inside of the Allen-Stevenson community.

Lower Division Learning Specialist, Clarissa Crowley 

(The) collaboration is incredible. It’s like cross-pollination. It’s about approaching the same topic from multiple perspectives. It’s giving students the chance to look at the same thing that they have been exploring and talking about and asking questions from a slightly different perspective. That variation in perspective is so important.

Lower Division Music Teacher, Ian Taggart

Our individuality makes us great, and discovering what makes you unique is such a personal thing. At A-S our boys are free to develop that individuality, which is such a wonderful part of this community. I don’t think any one person knows how to be a boy because there’s no one way to act or think that makes you a boy or a man. It took me a long time to realize that it’s okay to be different, and that’s something I think we celebrate at Allen-Stevenson.
