Steppingstone Academy Entrance Exam - Students interested in applying to The Steppingstone Academy, must take the entrance exam. This is a way for our admissions committee to gauge the ability level relative to other students applying. Students are encouraged to take more than one exam, as the highest score will be taken into consideration when selecting the new class of Scholars. A practice exam is included in each application packet.  Families can pick up an application packet at the FIM or by calling the office to have one mailed. Students can take the entrance exam prior to attending a FIM.
