Stepping Stones is an independent, values-driven school for the digital age. Yet, it is more than a place of learning. It is a promaise grounded in our belief in your child’s extraordinary potential.
Founded in 2009 and set in the nurturing heart of Kitengela, Stepping Stones combines a strong tradition of academic rigor with a commitment to nurturing bold thinkers, ethical leaders, and compassionate changemakers. Within our inclusive community, students don’t just prepare for exams—they prepare for life
Our story is deeply rooted in the vision of our late director, Mr. Thomas Morgan Mwawasi Kitala (1969–2024). A mentor, father, and leader, Mr. Kitala envisioned a school built on kindness, humility, and unwavering excellence.
His dream was to create an inclusive world where every child’s potential is nurtured—a place where integrity matters just as much as intelligence. Today, that legacy is carried forward by our Principal, Mrs. Lily Kitala, and a dedicated leadership team who continue to steward the school with grace and resilience
"We aim to provide every student with a sense of faith, excellence, and self-confidence. At Stepping Stones, we are CARERs: we Cooperate, Achieve, Respect, Empathize, and we are Resilient."

We are a school in motion. We began with a simple question: What if a school could shape character as rigorously as it shapes grades?
Today, that vision has evolved into the only premium elementary experience in the region that seamlessly blends future-ready learning with deep character development.
In 2024, we marked a historic milestone with the completion of our state-of-the-art Junior Secondary School (JSS) Complex. This modern facility features advanced science laboratories, computer labs for coding and robotics, and creative spaces designed for the Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC)8888.
This expansion isn’t just about new buildings; it’s about giving our students the best tools to build their futures.
Because learning requires safety. We believe that children take their biggest academic risks—like solving a complex math problem or standing up to speak in French—only when they feel secure and valued.
Whether in our boarding facilities or our day classes, we create an environment where bullying has no place, and every child belongs. Our “Heart-Guides” (our teachers) champion the shy student with sharp ideas and the energetic leader on the soccer pitch
"While academics are vital, we believe a truly exceptional education addresses the emotional and personal needs of students. We create a nurturing space where students feel loved, respected, and valued."
