Core Values & School Rules
CORE VALUES
Our simple but powerful goal is to produce students who know how to use their minds well.
We at Stepping Stone ask ourselves how can we encourage students as they engage in their learning, to embrace challenge and complexity, take initiative, consider other perspective, speculate and experiment, innovate and be bold. It is important that we help them to grow academically, psychologically and emotionally and to be prepared in a better way for their future education.
Located in the lush green surrounding, Stepping Stone offers a unique educational environment that rivals local private schools. First and foremost, we focus on the student teacher relationship and the academic discipline that brings them together.
Stepping Stone Inter College, Maniram which started on April 4th, 2014 is a haven for students looking for education and holistic development & a bright future.
