SMA Announces Plans for
Catholic High School
Stella Maris Academy is pleased to announce we are preparing to initiate High School education, beginning with 9th grade, based on our Formation Model of Education for the 2019-2020 school year.
A detailed strategic plan, led by board and school leadership, is in development to achieve this goal over the next 16 months. The strategic plan will coordinate with the Stella Maris Academy budget and tuition policies along with planning regarding leadership, curriculum, development, and governance. Expected enrollment for the Class of 2023 will launch in January 2019. Please watch for notice of informational meetings this April.
