Throughout history, man has stood out for the virtues that have made him great: strength, friendship, loyalty, fidelity, piety, magnanimity, obedience, and industriousness.<\/p>\n

We work together to make our school a\u00a0place where boys can acquire virtues<\/b>\u00a0that will forge them into good and holy men. We challenge each child to\u00a0become the protagonist<\/b>\u00a0of his own life and learn to assume with responsibility and spirit what is presented to him.<\/p>\n

Each of our students is called to give his all. In his friendship with God, in his family, in his studies, and with his friends,\u00a0he is called to be the best man by being the best son,\u00a0to become the best husband, and thus the best father<\/b>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Our Vocation to love<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n

At Stella Maris, every boy learns to recognize himself as a\u00a0son<\/b>, prepare his heart to become a\u00a0husband<\/b>, and get ready to embrace his future mission as a\u00a0father<\/b>.<\/p>\n

Inspired by\u00a0<\/span>Saint John Paul II<\/strong>, we know that \u201dman, who is the only creature on earth which God willed for itself, cannot fully find himself except through a sincere gift of himself\u201d (II Vatican Council, Gaudium et Spes, 24)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Our Goal<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Learning the art of living, at Stella Maris, we walk towards the greatness of a \u201cprotagonist destiny.\u201d<\/p>\n

Our goal is that the light, the genius, the artist, the hero, and the saint that each one of our boys carries inside himself may shine through.<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
