The Allen-Stevenson School

Congratulations to the Class of 2026!

Always remember: “At the end of the day, you'll walk out those doors and onto new places. Those same doors are always open to you.” – David Kersey h'98.

This week, Allen-Stevenson hosted our third annual Celebration of Learning, highlighting a year of growth and discovery.

The boys proudly took on the role of teachers, guiding their families through their classrooms and sharing their work from the year. They even got a sneak peek at what's to come as they move up to the next grade.

Each year, the event strengthens meaningful connections between students, families, and educators while showcasing the confidence, curiosity, and love of learning that define the Allen-Stevenson experience.

The Allen-Stevenson School’s Class of 2026 leaves behind a legacy of leadership, growth, and unforgettable memories. They’ve challenged themselves, supported one another, and made our community stronger. Wherever they go next, we know they will continue to embrace new opportunities and build upon their strong Allen-Stevenson foundation.

We look forward to honoring this incredible class of young men at next week’s Closing Exercises.

Just keep swimming! 🐟

This spring, our Fourth Grade boys visited the Ward Pound Ridge Reservation to release the brook trout they had raised from eggs since October.

After months of care and observation, the boys proudly released the trout, sending them off on the next stage of their journey.

The day also included time to explore the outdoors, as students enjoyed a nature walk through the reservation before putting their scientific skills to work. Working together, they identified macroinvertebrates found in the stream and learned how these organisms can help scientists assess the health of an ecosystem.

Last week, third-grade boys carried on a proud school A-S tradition with the annual Mr. America pageant!

Taking the stage in front of an audience of families, the boys presented their comprehensive research on all 50 states. Demonstrating impressive public speaking skills and poise, they shared interesting facts (and jokes!) about each state, along with songs and videos.

The morning was a fantastic display of the boys' hard work and growth throughout the year.

Congratulations to all the students, and huge thanks to the classroom teachers and the Performing Arts Department, whose dedication continues to inspire students year after year.

The Allen-Stevenson Varsity Baseball team capped off an outstanding season with just one loss, earning the title of league co-champs!

Through hard work, dedication, and contributions from every member of the roster, the team consistently rose to the occasion throughout the year. Our coaches are incredibly proud of the effort, sportsmanship, and teamwork these boys displayed all season long. Congratulations, boys! ⚾ 🏆

At Allen-Stevenson, "Stand and Deliver" is a foundational part of each boy's educational journey. From third-grade debates and fourth-grade persuasive speeches to classroom presentations and an eighth-grade mock trial, students across grade levels practice communicating their learning and expressing their ideas with clarity and purpose.

Through multiple presentation opportunities, boys build confidence, strengthen their public speaking and communication skills, and learn to share their research and ideas effectively and persuasively before audiences of peers and faculty.

With Closing Exercises just over three weeks away, we look back with immense gratitude for the leadership, spirit, and talent the Class of 2026 has brought to our school.

As they move on from Allen-Stevenson, they take with them deep friendships, lasting lessons, and the enduring values of our community. We are excited to watch them meet new challenges and make their mark on the world in the years ahead.

As a culminating project for their Feudal Japan unit, 5th graders transformed their classroom into a Feudal Japan museum.

After researching different aspects of daily life during the period, including samurai culture, religion, art, architecture, and food, students designed and created original artifacts to showcase their learning.

During the museum presentation, students proudly shared their work and taught visitors fascinating facts, bringing the world of Feudal Japan to life through creativity, collaboration, and historical inquiry.
