History

The Old Stone Foundation was founded in 1980 by members of the Old Stone Church who were concerned with the welfare of its neighbors within the Public Square area and the Square’s poor public image. In 1994, the Old Stone Center for Education was founded. The Center was created in partnership with the Cleveland Metropolitan School District to address the issues associated with the young women of Cuyahoga County who were not completing high school due to childcare issues. Since 1994, the Foundation has enrolled over 2,000 young women into the program.

The Old Stone Foundation and the Old Stone Center for Education is located in the Old Stone Church on Public Square. The Old Stone Church provides free rent for our excellent school, computer lab, and daycare facilities. The Adult and Continuing Education Division of the Cleveland Metropolitan School District provide partial funding and total support of the Foundation’s exceptional and dedicated teaching staff.
