The family is the foundation of a healthy society. For this reason, Mater Salvatoris School and Stella Maris School joined forces to create a shared project that serves the family as a whole. Together, we accompany and support parents as primary educators of their children.
Mater Salvatoris and Stella Maris accompany our students and families at all stages of their children’s formation – from Preschool through High School. Through a strong and lasting covenant between families and our schools, we collaborate with parents’ exciting mission of educating and raising their children to be the great saints Our Lord is calling them to be.
In addition, we are dedicated to providing a supportive, loving, faithful and active community for the whole family. We regularly host retreats, pilgrimages, parent education nights, social evenings and other special events for families.
