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.
