School Notes

Our Missions is to equip students with the tools for learning through a Christ-centered education.
Our Vision is to develop lifelong learners who discern and apply God's truth as they serve and lead wherever God calls.

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.
