The Steward School After School Program
Preschool in Henrico, VA 23238
THE STEWARD SCHOOL’S MISSION is to prepare each child for college and for life. Our core character values are honor, responsibility, and achievement, balanced by caring and respect for oneself and for others. Steward is committed to small classes and small overall size, which allow for discovery and development of each student’s unique talents and passions, while providing more opportunities for individual participation. We believe an environment with a diversity of talents, abilities, cultures, and backgrounds provides the richest and most fully rounded educational experience.

The Steward School’s Educational Philosophy expresses who we were founded to be, who we are, and who we strive to become.
While we value and celebrate traditional academic achievement and intellectual accomplishment, we believe that each child is an individual and should be treated as such, and that this is a greater guiding principle than any linear scale.
We celebrate as a positive good the fact that we have a student population of differing talents and abilities.
The essence of the School’s culture is rooted in the ethic of care care for oneself, for others, for the School community, and for a cause greater than oneself.
Competition exists and is important at Steward, as it is in college and life, but discovering the satisfaction that comes from becoming deeply and fully engaged and knowing that you are spending life in a meaningful way is an important life skill, regardless of whether one “wins” or “loses.”
At Steward, efforts are made to gauge the appropriate level of expectation and support for each student individually.
Every child is unique. The importance of the individual, and treating each individual with the dignity to which he or she is entitled, is a theme which runs very deep in the Steward mission.
Steward has a vigorous commitment to preparing our students for new ways of thinking and innovations in the way we approach issues, the ways we value each other, and the ways that we relate.
The integration of technology into learning is essential to student growth and development.
Understanding and respecting differences is necessary to becoming fully educated. Genuine understanding of other cultures, their histories, and how members of different cultures think and view the world is essential to a global society.
At Steward, balance is a core value, if not the most important element of all.
To the extent we discover the individual, recognize and honor all facets of that individual, and help him or her form a self-respecting, yet meaningful and rewarding, relationship with the world, we will have succeeded. This is The Steward Way.
