Stella Students Shine Spiritually

Students of many religions attend Stella Niagara Education Park. A religion-based education builds character by reinforcing the values of a society based on justice, mercy and peace. Stella Niagara, as a designated Peace Site, proudly weaves these values through all grade levels and through all programs. From the earliest years to graduation, Stella students actively carry these values to the community through programs that integrate fellowship and social responsibility into the daily schedule.

While every student attends Christian religious services on a regular basis, and the Catholic religion is taught as a course of study, great respect is shown toward the religious beliefs and backgrounds of each child.

Stella Students Shine Physically

The athletic program at Stella Niagara Education Park cultivates the personal strengths of each student in an environment of fair play, good sportsmanship and cooperation. These values are held as important throughout all Stella's sports programs.

All sports programs are designed to provide students with the opportunity to develop skills, sportsmanship and self-confidence. The school's physical education program is a developmental sports program that introduces sport-specific skills, emphasizes the development of those skills and involves minimal competition. The recreational sports program maximizes and equalizes participation and emphasizes an enjoyable leisure activity. The competitive sports program emphasizes the pursuit of excellence and winning. All students are encouraged to participate in the athletic programs regardless of athletic ability.

Stella Students Shine Intellectually

Stella offers a curriculum that is varied and enriching, meeting or exceeding the requirements of New York State. Self-esteem and confidence are developed through sequenced and thematic instruction. Students are encouraged to seek out knowledge for themselves. From pre-school to eighth grade, Stella Niagara Education Park offers a program designed to meet the student's need at each stage of his or her development, allowing for sequential skill development with provision for both remediation and enrichment.

Members of Stella Niagara Education Park faculty are chosen for their educational preparation, instructional abilities, genuine interest and concern for children.
