The possible sources of knowledge are many,and are different in terms of ''affordability'' : you can get knowledge from school,by persuing your academics.You can also choose to rely on the cheapest sources,which are the medias that we watch everyday.You can also choose to rely on what your surroundings tell you( your family,friends,people you admire),but it all depend on who you are,what kind of people you surround yourself with,and the most important is, what is the goal behind seeking that knowledge.
However,if we choose to just isolate the term ''knowledge'',and spend some time to think about it the philosphical way,it will be the absolute knowledge,which many great philosphers talked and taught us about.This knowledge is the key to all other knowledge you can attain relying on others,wether it is school or a person you trust.This knowledge will open your eyes to see the arcanes of the world,the flaws of our human nature and the magic of our existence.You don t need any mean to get that knowledge,you get it directly from the absoute omnipresent God,which Descartes described also.And to me,this is the real knowledge to rely with no doubt.

There's only one source for knowledge - your brain.
There's infinite sources for information.
The most reliable one is what the most people believe - wikiality.
It's a strange concept but it's true. Science, mathematics, theology all information comes from a person's investigations and beliefs. The more people that agree with those beliefs, the more it becomes true - reliable.

I know you're going to get all sorts of "mystic" type answers to this and that may actually be what you are looking for.
I, however, prefer to keep my feet firmly on the ground and tell you that there are ultimately just two sources of knowledge.
The first is the experienced (ie. the knowledge you find or experience yourself) and this can take the form of reading primary sources, watching films, religious experience.......anything which you experience first-hand.
The second is the unexperienced where you rely on other people's experiences and narratives (and this would take the form of things like alien abduction, secondary source material, etc).
The only knowledge of which you can be sure is that which you experience yourself and therefore know to be true.
