St. Stephens High School is considered the first Christian Chinese School in Luzon, Philippines.

Its story began in St. Stephens Church of Manila which was established in 1903 and run by the American Episcopal Mission in the Philippines headed by Bishop Charles Henry Brent.

In line with the churchs goal of providing a place of worship and guiding the Manila Chinese residents into becoming a Christian community, the idea of opening a night school for young men was first hatched and brought to fruition in 1905. It operated until 1909.
