Philanthropy Matters At Stepping Stone School!

Our Young Entrepreneurs and Philanthropists™ program has successfully increased the amount of funds raised each year by our school age children, while also teaching them the valuable lessons of kindness, caring, gratitude and giving to others.

Philanthropy is a core component of the Stepping Stone School curriculum and teaches our students the importance of giving back to their communities.

To date, Stepping Stone School and our school age student leaders have donated over $100,000 to the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Central Texas and Scottie’s House in College Station.

Now Enrolling for Spring 2026!

Family, Community, Philanthropy.

Our Campuses are well known for wonderful and engaging learning experiences, but what sets Stepping Stone School apart is our mission outside the classroom.

The Stepping Stone School Children’s Publishing Company supports our community by donating all proceeds to local literacy non- profits in Austin!

First, the children write and illustrate their own books!
Then, Stepping Stone School publishes each book, complete with their very own ISBN number!
The published books are then shared with the community and are available to purchase!
All books are $5 and all proceeds go to local literacy nonprofits in Austin!
Philanthropy is who we are and we love incorporating a love of literacy with our mission to give back!
Ask your campus Principal today about how you can support this wonderful cause!
