The mission of Stewart Home School is the complete and total care of our students and the fulfillment of all their needs - physical, educational, social, vocational, and spiritual.

Since 1893, Stewart Home School has provided a community where people live in a nurturing environment, and participate in programs designed to specifically meet their individual needs. Our Students pursue skills in self-sufficiency, academics, and vocational programs in a setting that stimulates self-confidence, and encourages personal happiness.

We Believe intellectually disabled persons deserve every opportunity for personal growth. Our philosophy embraces an understanding of each intellectually disabled person as an individual who desires meaningful activity, success, friendships
and acceptance.

We Believe the emotional problems that often occur as a result of frustration can create a handicapping effect - an effect which produces fear of failure, loss of self-esteem, loneliness and isolation.

We Believe a special residential community that offers the opportunity for continuing education, work, companionship, recreation, and social interaction with friends can present opportunities that might just make dreams come true.

We Believe in an atmosphere of acceptance. The foundation of such an aim is to
see each individual as a person who can learn and to provide motivational
programming for the expression of skills and talents. Individual goals are the
avenue to meeting individual needs; they change as the individual changes.

We Believe that a parent or guardian, in seeking an environment for his child, knows the limitations of society when it comes to opportunity and acceptance. To many families, the Stewart Home School community and its philosophy represent an exciting choice!
