School Notes
- At Stillwater Christian School our desire is to equip students with the tools for learning. Our view of education is similar to the old adage that if you give someone a fish you feed them for a day, but if you teach them to fish they can feed themselves for a lifetime. In the same way, the academic endeavor at Stillwater is not an end, but rather a means to the end of developing graduates who are able to continue through a lifetime of learning. We call these tools grammar, logic and rhetoric and the educational program at Stillwater is built around infusing these three elements into every learning opportunity.
