Supported by their parishes and communities, Catholic schools educate the whole child — mind, heart and spirit — by teaching and modeling the values of the Catholic faith. Parents choose Catholic schools for their high academic standards, values-added education, and safe, supportive school environments. At Our Lady Star of the Sea we strive to educate our students to be active participants in their Catholic Church community, to become life-long learners, and to be responsible, active citizens in their local and global community.
