Anthony Stephens
Barbizon School of Modeling

When 16 year-old Anthony Stephens, of Mattapan, enrolled at the Barbizon School of Modeling, he was in need of directing his energy. Having been an "A" student all through middle school, Anthony's transition to high school seemed to be going well until his sophomore year. Then, he seemed to be young man working hard at being on the other side of class. Anthony's grades were declining fast and after much discussion with School Administrators, the Metco Director and personal insights, it was suggested that Anthony get himself involved in some personal goal. Anthony asked if he could check out the Barbizon School of Modeling and decided to enroll in the Personal Development program. Anthony was so excited about starting a new endeavor. To get from Lexington, where he attends high school, to Copley Square every Thursday by 6 p.m. on the Mass Pike was quite a challenge. Anthony would change from football gear to a pair of slacks, shirt and shoes in the car, since Barbizon's dress code does not permit jeans or sneakers when attending class. He really blossomed in the 20 weeks he was at Barbizon graduating with honors and personal confidence in himself in reaching his goals. Anthony has improved ALL his grades and is currently enrolled in an SAT prep class to prepare for college exams. Anthony plans to pursue his modeling career over the next year while planning for college.
