Our school is about people, with the rich ethnic backgrounds of those entrusted in our care, we strive to bring out the uniqueness and potential of each child. We see the parents as the primary educators. As parents work to develop their child holistically (spiritually, academically, psychologically, physically and culturally) we, as educators, are here to reinforce what has begun in the home. We are dedicated to guiding our students to form a thinking conscience, and to learn to make sound decisions, so that they may be responsible adults of tomorrow. Because Star of the Sea Schools exists for people, it is our desire to lead each other, and our students and parents to real love and respect for each individual. Each person has been gifted by God with life, and in turn shares personal gifts with God.
