What is Stamp SCHOOL?

Stamp SCHOOL: The Stephen Campbell Home of Online Learning

Stamp SCHOOL is named in honor of Stephen Campbell, a longtime APS member who used stamp collecting as a therapeutic and educational tool after a traumatic brain injury. His story inspired the platform’s mission: to make philatelic education accessible to everyone.  Take your tour now!
