Steppingstone Scholars, Inc. prepares motivated urban schoolchildren for acceptance and success at the top college preparatory schools in the Philadelphia area. Students are accepted into the Scholars Program in the fourth grade, begin the 14-month academic preparation component during the summer before fifth grade, and begin attending their new schools in the sixth grade. The Scholars Program comprises every phase of the Scholars' progression through the program, from admission in the fourth grade to graduation from college.

Based on the premise that, regardless of circumstance, children can achieve at high levels if they are prepared in a focused, demanding academic environment, Steppingstone programs emphasize rigorous standards and achieve meaningful results.
