Stairway provides non-formal education for children who have had little or no education.  Classes are small which allow for individual attention and individual pacing for learning.  Subjects include:  Reading, Writing, Math, History, Science, Computer Skills, Filipino and English, Art, Home Economics and Critical Thinking.

Practical Skills

While in residence, the children learn a variety of income-generating skills, such as bracelet weaving, candle making, stone jewelry, tie-dye, and bamboo crafts.  These skills help to provide them with an income while in residence and can also give them an alternative for making a livelihood after leaving Stairway.
