[edit] Expanding this article

Speaking as a Steller graduate, I'd be interested to see more information included about the history of the school starting with the CASE report, as well as discussion of unique aspects of Steller's academic style, including Independent Studies, Self-Directed Learning Contracts, Open Boats, Intensives, and the seminar program. It might also be nice to include something about Steller's lack of competitive sports and the reasoning behind their exclusion. I'd like to know what the community thinks of including in the article local controversy and past news regarding the school, as well as the school's accomplishments in events such as Model United Nations, DDF, and Poetry Out Loud.

[edit] Details

We might clarify that Steller has 13(?) faculty members plus whatever the current number of other staff, because I feel that the current listing of "approximately 25 staff members" is somewhat vague and possibly misleading.

Also, it might be good to clarify that students choose their own classes each semester. As it stands now, the description of academics could be interpreted to mean that the student body itself decides which classes will be offered. Alama
