INDEPENDENT SCHOOLS

Inspiring theWhole Child

CHRIST OUR KING  STELLA MARIS SCHOOL

S

ince 1950, Christ Our King - Stella Maris School

has been providing an outstanding Catholic

education for students in pre-kindergarten through

eighth grade. Serving to educate students in the parishes of

Christ Our King, Stella Maris, St. Benedict’s and Saint Clare

of Assisi, the school’s mission is to

inspire the whole child by promoting

an educational philosophy that emphasizes charity, respect

and outreach. Through strong programs in academics,

fine arts, stewardship and athletics, students and staff are

challenged to explore their talents, equip themselves with

knowledge to help them succeed and lead active, faith-filled

lives as true disciples of Christ.

In addition to traditional math, English, social studies,

science and religion classes, highlighted by a top 10-percent

national ranking of the schools’ standardized test scores,

Christ Our King - Stella Maris School also offers courses

that enhance students’ lives, such as arts, music, choir,

physical education, technology, Spanish, internet research,

study skills and creative writing.

The school’s Catholic faith is an integral part of all

aspects of student life – from academics to the playground

to extracurricular activities, faith is a constant thread that

runs through daily experiences. Students begin and end

each day and class with a prayer, attend Mass and celebrate

special days honoring Mary in May and October. Weekly

“We Give Wednesday’s Collection” encourages stewardship

and teaches students lessons in time, talent and treasure.

Helping fulfill the mission to ‘inspire the whole child,”

there are over two dozen extracurricular activities, ranging

from music to athletics to clubs and activities which

students are encouraged to take part in.

Christ Our King - Stella Maris School has gained

recognition as a National Blue Ribbon School and an

International Baccalaureate World School and has earned an

outstanding reputation in the East Cooper community.
