Our mission is to elevate student success by delivering educational programs and solutions that promote equitable access to quality public education in Stamford.
OUR VISION
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.
College and Career Readiness
SPEF offers age-specific programs that encourage the development of productive habits through mentorship and tutoring.
Family Engagement
SPEF delivers community-accessible programs to support families as they navigate the Stamford Public Schools system including Books Across Stamford, Here-to-Help resource network, and Parent Leadership Training Programs.
Kindergarten Readiness
SPEF’s Summer Start Program prepares children who did not have a formal preschool experience with a free 5-week kindergarten-readiness program.
