2011

Steppingstone’s first class in Philadelphia graduates from college.

The Steppingstone Academy in Boston serves 1,000 Scholars in grades five through 12.

The College Success Academy (CSA) is launched in two Boston public K8 schools, the Edison and the Jackson/Mann.

When I look at the accomplishments on the timeline on the previous pages, I am humbled by all of the work that the Scholars, their families, and the staff have done, grateful for every bit of advice and support I’ve gotten along the way, and inspired to make the next 20 years even better.

In 1990, the faculty consisted of John Simon and myself, and there were 14 Scholars in the pilot class. Now, The Steppingstone Academy serves more than 1,400 Scholars in Boston, we have affiliates serving several hundred Scholars in Philadelphia and Hartford, and we’ve launched the National Partnership for Educational Access, whose member organizations collectively serve more than 100,000 underserved students across the country. Just last July, we launched the College Success Academy, which has the potential to help countless public school students in Boston and beyond.

Our growth has outpaced our wildest ambitions, but only because we’ve received more support than we could ever have imagined.

Behind each notch on the timeline lie innumerable stories. These tales include the heroic work of Scholars, the heartfelt generosity of donors, and the perseverance and patience of mentors. Every day, for two decades, a myriad of people have quietly but purposefully committed themselves to the vision that with proper preparation and support, and a lot of hard work, any student can go to college and succeed.

While the 20-year mark is a good time to reflect and give thanks for all that has happened so far, we are as passionate as ever to find new ways to help those students who have the will to earn educational opportunities that lead to a four-year college degree. We are particularly excited to be in a position to offer Steppingstone’s academic and support services to more underserved students in the Boston Public Schools.

At every milestone, know that I am acutely aware and grateful that none of what we have accomplished would be possible without your support. I can’t wait for us to start filling in the next timeline.

Michael P. Danziger Founder and CEO The Steppingstone Foundation

Letter from the Founder .............

While it is impossible to capture Steppingstone’s first 20 years of life on a few pages, the timeline in the preceding pages features some of its most celebrated accomplishments. By tracing these highlights, you will note the rise in the number of Boston students Steppingstone has been able to serve, the building of affiliate programs in Hartford and Philadelphia, and the launch of the National Partnership for Educational Access (NPEA) which supports programs dedicated to college access for underserved students. The ink is not even dry on the last timeline entry reflecting the creation of the College Success Academy in Boston last July.

None of this progress could have occurred without your critical support.

Your steadfast belief in Steppingstone’s mission has enabled the Board to chart Steppingstone’s course for the future.

Steppingstone Scholars have had great success graduating from four-year colleges, and as larger classes come through the program, we want to ensure that future Scholars have the same opportunity.

As a result of last year’s strategic plan, Steppingstone has restructured The Steppingstone Academy’s support services component to include college services, ensuring that Scholars transition successfully to college and earn a degree. Services include summer bridge workshops, on-going financial aid advising, and College Coaches, a program matching Scholars in their first year of college with older Scholars attending their school. We are also bringing NPEA member programs

together regionally to collaborate, share best practices, and create a college pipeline within their communities, beginning in Boston.

Perhaps Steppingstone’s most notable recent expansion is the launch of a new initiative, based in the Boston Public Schools, called the College Success Academy.

Last July, Mayor Menino helped kick-off the program, as the inaugural 46 Scholars buckled down to start their collegebound journey. I give those diligent rising fifthgraders tremendous credit, but I also give you a heartfelt thank you. These Scholars will spend five summers and four academic years after school in classes, fortifying what they learn in their regular Boston Public School curriculum, while benefiting from the Steppingstone culture of hard work, high expectations, and high achievement. Once these Scholars are in their Boston public high schools, they will receive the same quality college counseling and financial aid assistance, college tours, and socio-emotional support that the Scholars from The Steppingstone Academy receive. We quite literally couldn’t provide them with this path to college without you.

On behalf of the 1,400 Steppingstone Scholars headed back to school, ranging from a fifth-grade classroom in Brighton to a college senior seminar in Cambridge, thank you for your generous support.

Since 1990, The Steppingstone Foundation has successfully prepared hundreds of underserved schoolchildren for educational opportunities that lead to college success. Year after year, the Scholars’ accomplishments show that with the right combination of high expectations and meaningful support, children who are willing to work hard can reach their potential and make their college aspirations a reality, regardless of circumstance.

Steppingstone programs in Boston, Philadelphia, and Hartford set underserved students on the path to college by preparing them to get into and succeed at top college-preparatory schools in middle and high school. Once admitted, Scholars participate in an intensive course of academic preparation that begins with a six-week summer session, continues during the school year with classes after school and on Saturdays, and concludes with a second summer session. Scholars preparing for ninth-grade placement have a longer academic program. The rigorous curriculum prepares Scholars for the challenges of getting into and excelling at top independent and public exam schools.

Steppingstone also works closely with Scholars and their families on all aspects of the independent and public exam school admissions process, from choosing the right school, to applying for financial aid. But Steppingstone doesn’t end there.

Steppingstone makes a long-term commitment to Scholars, providing a comprehensive slate of support services during middle school, high school, and college to ensure that they thrive in their new schools, ultimately graduating from high school and four-year colleges.

The Steppingstone Academy in Boston prepares fifth-, sixth-, and seventhgrade students to get into and succeed at Boston’s top independent and public exam schools in the sixth, seventh, and ninth grades, respectively. In 2010, The Steppingstone Academy served more than 1,000 Scholars in grades five through 12 and 300 Alumni Scholars in college. Of the Scholars who complete the academic component, 90% gain admission to an independent or public exam school, 99% graduate from high school, and 91% enroll at four-year colleges. 80% of the Scholars who enrolled at four-year colleges earned a degree within six years.

Since its inception in 1997, The Steppingstone Scholars Program in Philadelphia has prepared more than 350 underserved fifth-grade students for admission to selective independent schools in the sixth grade. In 2010, the program achieved a significant milestone when the first Scholars from the pilot class graduated from college.

Since 2005, The Steppingstone Academy Hartford has prepared highly motivated Hartford students for admission to Connecticut’s top independent schools in the ninth grade. In 2010, The Steppingstone Academy Hartford provided academic preparation to 47 rising seventh-, eighth-, and ninth-grade students, serving more than 100 Scholars in grades seven through 10. In addition, 100% of the Scholars who completed the academic preparation component are on track to graduate from high school.

Created in 2007, the National Partnership for Educational Access (NPEA) is a membership association for programs committed to increasing educational opportunities for motivated underserved students across the United States. NPEA currently has more than 180 members, representing 29 states and collectively serving more than 100,000 students across the country. NPEA is dedicated to promoting quality, success, and growth among member organizations, partner schools, and communities committed to educational access. Members include school and non-school based programs, charter schools, independent schools, higher education institutions, and other nonprofit programs.

In the fall of 2010, Steppingstone began recruiting the first Scholars to participate in its newest initiative, the College Success Academy, based in the Edison and Jackson/Mann K8 Schools in Brighton. Modeled after the academic preparation and support services components of The Steppingstone Academy, the College Success Academy provides middle-grade students in Boston public schools with a rigorous after-school and summer academic program spanning five years, followed by support services through high school and college. The pilot class of 46 Scholars began its first summer session in July 2011.

Berylson Fund for Leadership Development

Recognizing that attracting and retaining staff is a key issue for not-for-profits, Amy Smith Berylson and John Berylson established The Berylson Fund for Leadership Development to provide Steppingstone’s leadership staff with the opportunity to engage in high-level professional development opportunities in order to best serve the needs of a growing organization.

The Berylson Fund has supported the design and implementation of an employee evaluation system to increase performance, motivation, and job satisfaction.

We are grateful for the Berylsons’ thoughtful and generous investment in Steppingstone’s future.

Summer Opportunities Fund

There are many summer programs that provide students with experience or academic skills that encourage them to grow outside of the classroom, as well as help them stand out from the college applicant pool. In 2006, The Steppingstone Foundation created the Summer Opportunities Fund to provide Scholars with the financial assistance they need to participate in such summer programs.

In 2010, Scholars took part in the following programs: The Winsor School’s then-rising senior, Lisa Luo ’04, spent the summer at Community Rowing. This competitive summer program is designed for athletes who are looking to improve their rowing skills, compete at a high level on a national scale, and develop in a team environment.

The summer before his senior year at The Roxbury Latin School, Bence Budavari ’05 spent a weekend at Berklee College of Music in the Music Technology Division.

He attended a series of intensive workshops covering many facets of music production technology.

Catholic Memorial School’s Malcolm Grant ’05 spent five weeks at the Rob Burton Training Village. The program is year-round with a summer component and offers campers support and mentoring in areas such as: education, social skills, morals, values, leadership, and fitness.

Jamelia Willock ’05 spent the summer before her senior year at the John D. O’Bryant School on the campus of Brown University.

The Summer@Brown program is a two-week residential program that allows students to take college courses, advance their studies, and prepare for college success.

National Student Leadership Conference (NSLC) provided Thayer Academy thenjunior, Olivia Lau ’06, with the opportunity to experience campus life at the University of Maryland. Olivia was able to develop essential leadership skills, explore future careers through exciting simulations, and participate in exclusive site visits and interactive meetings with renowned leaders in various fields.

Kevin Figueroa ’07 spent the summer before his senior year at Boston College High School traveling to Italy, Austria, Switzerland, and France with People to People, an organization that promotes international understanding and friendship through educational, cultural, and humanitarian activities.

Noble and Greenough School’s Jennifer Ngo ’07 spent the summer before her senior year at LEAD Business. A national partnership of the top U.S. corporations and graduate schools, LEAD Business is a four-week residential program that encourages talented students from diverse backgrounds to pursue business.
