Being a teacher at Stepstone Academy has truly allowed me to form strong, loving relationships with my students. I have had the opportunity to not only help them become stronger academically, but give them the social emotional skills to support them through their future. – Samantha Hartman, Teacher
The reason why I like working at Stepstone Academy is that everyone here is dedicated to the teaching and the learning of each student in our school. We are fortunate to have an administration that provides on-going professional development and encourages collaboration amongst colleagues. Each of us is committed to delivering rigorous, relevant, and current instruction that fosters problem solving, develops critical thinking skills, and improves literacy. At Stepstone, we hold our students to a high standard and we hold ourselves to a high standard! – Kristen Anderson, Teacher
