We envision a community in which every student is prepared and inspired to thrive.

WHAT WE DO

SPEF delivers programs and solutions that help students in Stamford Public Schools graduate high school prepared and inspired to thrive, whether their path is college, vocational training, the military, or entering the workforce. In our pursuit to eliminate barriers that hinder students’ success, we focus on four areas of free programming, starting with the littlest learners and progressing through high school years and beyond:  Kindergarten Readiness, Family Engagement, and College and Career Readiness.
