WELCOME TO OUR STAR FAMILY
|
|
Recently, we
celebrated 50 years of academic
excellence in our community. We
have earned the distinction of being one
of only two Catholic Elementary Schools
in Michigan to have been given the stamp of
excellence through our
accreditation from the North
Central Association of Colleges &
Schools (NCA).
To
prepare students for high school,
students are offered a wide range of
academic and elective programs beginning
with preschool through eighth grade.
We send our graduates on to several
excellent Catholic and public high
schools in the area, many with academic
scholarships. Our
certified, dedicated, and enthusiastic
faculty has high expectations for each
member of our learning community in an
inviting and safe environment.
We are proud of a curriculum that is
relevant, challenging, integrative and
exploratory with multiple learning and
teaching approaches that respond to
student diversity.
But
what truly distinguishes Our Lady Star
of the Sea
School from
other schools is our strong belief in
integrating education with Gospel
values. This is accomplished by
promoting in each student an awareness
of the value of prayer and the presence
of Christ in his or her life.
