Admissions Process

The admissions process at Stillwater Christian School is centered upon getting to know students individually and assisting families in fully understanding our school’s mission and vision. As a covenantal Christian school, we admit students from families who share and support this mission. The match between student, family, and school is of primary importance. A variety of factors are reviewed during the admissions process, including student and parent responses to the Stillwater application, a pastor’s recommendation, academic records from current schools, and performance on standardized and individual assessments.

Preschool-12th Grade Admissions Steps:

STEP 1 - Campus Visit

The best way to truly experience the unique educational environment at Stillwater Christian is to visit and see it for yourself. Schedule a meeting with our Director of Admissions to tour our beautiful campus, meet members of our faculty
and administration, and learn about the many opportunities that are available
to SCS students. Live out of town? We'd still love to meet you in person, but in the meantime, you can get a glimpse of our campus by viewing our virtual tour.

Contact Admissions at admissions@scscougars.org or 406.752.4400 x177 to schedule a campus visit.

STEP 2 - Apply

Applications are submitted online. To formally begin the Admissions process, complete the application and pay the $50 fee per student (capped at $150 per family). Submit all required forms, most recent grade reports, and standardized test scores. **Applicants will not move to Step 3 until all of these documents have been submitted and reviewed.

NEW FAMILY APPLICATION (one per family preschool-12; not required for current families)
STUDENT APPLICATION (one per student preschool-12)
UPPER SCHOOL STUDENT COMMITMENT (one per student grades 7-12)

For your reference, the following forms will automatically be sent upon submission of your application forms.

STEP 3 - Entrance Testing & Family Interviews

Once Steps 1 & 2 are completed, the Director of Admissions will contact you to schedule entrance assessments. If the student meets required academic standards, parents then meet with the Head of School for a New Parent Interview. Students in grades 7-12 will meet for a brief interview with the upper school principal.

STEP 4 - Decision Process

After Steps 1-3 are complete, the Admissions Committee will review all components of the application. Enrollment decisions consider the applicant’s potential for success in our program and the parents’ desire to partner with us in providing a Christ-centered education. Families will be notified in writing or by phone.

STEP 5 - Registration and Enrollment

After receiving notification of acceptance, parents will be asked to submit the $350 enrollment fee, birth certificate, updated immunizations, and to enroll in FACTS tuition payment program.

Thank you for prayerfully considering SCS for your student. Contact admissions@scscougars.org; 406.752.4400 x177.

NOTE: Classes fill quickly. Returning families are given priority for admission until March 1st. After that date, enrollment is open.

We can't wait to welcome you into this community of faith and learning.
