The town has two elementary schools, one with a popular French immersion program, a middle school and high school. These schools have outstanding reputations for safety and student engagement, with extra-curricular programs in music, theatre, video production, robotics and of course many different sports.

St. Stephen is home to St. Stephen’s University, proudly Canada’s smallest university. SSU offers Liberal Arts degrees with travel study programs in both Europe and Asia. There are also two community colleges nearby.

There are excellent pre-schools in town, and day care/after school care facilities including a highly successful Boys & Girls Club with a huge indoor play centre.
