OUR STORY
Stepping Stone has come a long way since its creation in the early 1970s. At the start the goal was to provide education for indigent children. Overtime, more neurodiverse students became a part of the student body which earned a reputation for the school's neurodiverse programmes.
In 1986, Stepping Stone was finally formed as a non-stock, non-profit foundation. Then in 2005 the foundation moved to Bernardino street in Guadalupe Viejo until 2005. Now, Stepping Stone is situated in the heart of Paranaque city.
The foundation changed its name in 2013 to Center for Excellence in Special Education (Stepping Stone) Foundation, Inc. which reflects the school's essence.
