Parents of Special Needs Children
in Manatee and Sarasota Counties

Stepping Stone School offers a unique alternative for children who are are struggling in public school and other private schools.

We focus on special needs students who can benefit from the individualized instruction and more personal attention our teachers and professional partners provide.

If your child can benefit from a different kind of educational environment, you will likely qualify for a McKay Scholarship, which can cover most, if not all, tuition costs.

How We Help Your Child Succeed

Stepping Stone School's certified, experienced educators focus on your child as an individual. We specialize in students who:
  • Have not yet found their ideal learning environment.
  • Have strengths that are not being used to their fullest.
  • Have impediments to learning which need to be addressed.

McKay Scholarships Can Fund Tuition Costs

Florida's school choice program allows parents to choose the best educational setting—public or private—for their child. The McKay Scholarships for Students with Disabilities Program provided the opportunity for more than 20,000 Florida special needs students to attend a participating private school during the 2009-10 school year.
