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.

At Stepping Stone School, The Atelier™ is more than an art space, it’s a place where creativity and innovation come alive! 🎨

The Atelier™ is comprised of three areas of focus: the Creative Art Gallery, Character Role Models, and the Architecture Studio, each designed to help children explore new ideas, express themselves, and think critically in imaginative ways.

Through open-ended projects and discovery-based learning, children develop creativity, confidence, and problem-solving skills that will last a lifetime. 🌟
