Historic and beautiful Stillwater is a dynamic and growing community located just 20 miles east of downtown St. Paul. Stillwater is nestled into the bluffs of the St. Croix River, one of America’s most protected Wild and Scenic Waterways. Stillwater is considered the historic birthplace of Minnesota. Stillwater’s vibrant history is still evident today but is now mixed with modern amenities and beautifully restored historic mansions. Stillwater is a year-round tourist destination because of downtown Main Street with over 100 owner-operated shops and restaurants. Downtown Stillwater boasts over 20 dining patios, historic sites, wineries and breweries, paddlewheel cruises, antiques, museums, art galleries, music and many popular events.

Stillwater Area Public Schools is comprised of one early childhood family center (birth-5 years old), ten elementary schools (K-6), two junior high schools (grades 7-9), one high school (10-12), and one alternative learning center. The Stillwater Schools offer the best of both worlds as it is large enough to provide a wide variety opportunities for students but still maintains a personal and individualized education.
