A Proud History

When Dr. John Q. A. Stewart founded Stewart Home School in 1893, he envisioned not only providing an education for special needs, but also a school community experience like his own.

Stewart Home School occupies the historic campus of the old Kentucky Military Institute, our founder’s own high school, as well as an adjoining 850 acres of serene rural farmland in Frankfort, Kentucky. Originally a resort, and now on the National Register of Historic Places, the school offers a one-of-a-kind community where the intellectually disabled are appreciated for the people they are.

Five Generations of Caring

For five successive generations the Stewart family has provided a setting for enriched lifestyles for intellectually disabled students and adults from around the world. Today, each student becomes an integral part of the life of Stewart Home School. Dr. John P. Stewart continues the tradition of the school’s proud past and extends its dynamic opportunities for the future.
