Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

To equip students with the tools for learning through a Christ-Center education.

  • Stillwater Christian School provided a Christ-centered, Biblically integrated education to students in kindergarten through twelfth grade, equipping students with academic excellence alongside a foundation rooted in Christian faith and character development. Academic instruction across all grade levels was delivered within a framework that integrates Biblical principles into every subject area, serving families seeking an educational environment that reinforces their faith values. In further support of its mission, the Organization operated a Parent-Teacher Organization that fostered meaningful engagement between families and the school community, and maintained a hot lunch program providing students with access to nutritious meals during the school day. Together, these programs reflect the Organizations commitment to serving the whole child in a manner consistent with its Christian mission.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
