Stonefountain College was established in 2005 Stonefountain opened its second campus in Kenilworth as demand at the Athlone campus surpassed the available facilities there A drug monitoring policy was developed in 2005 and the Stonefountain learners were expected to subject themselves to regular drug testing
The college's motto is "creating thinking people." Clearly such an objective goes beyond reading and writing and responds to Dewey's idea of creating people with the power of thought that signifies growth. In the school system those who can read and write will rise to the top of the class and are rewarded at the end of 12 years with a university endorsement, we do not yet have a means of testing social and intellectual maturity. Stonefountain may have found a way.
