Celebrating Creativity and Culture
At Stella Maris Academy, students are encouraged to explore their creativity, discover new talents, and appreciate the richness of different cultures. Our Fine Arts, Music, and Spanish programs provide hands-on experiences that foster self-expression, collaboration, and a lifelong love of learning.
Fine Arts
Students develop an appreciation for visual art through exploration of line, color, shape, and composition. They experiment with materials and techniques while learning to analyze art in its historical and cultural context. Creative expression is emphasized alongside the development of skills and vocabulary to discuss and interpret works of art.
Music
The music program nurtures students’ natural musical abilities, helping them sing accurately, in tune, and with confidence. Students participate in performance opportunities through school events, after-school activities, and church services. The curriculum encourages leadership, collaboration, and personal growth through music.
Spanish
Spanish instruction immerses students in language and culture, building fluency in speaking, listening, reading, and writing. Lessons incorporate grammar, vocabulary, and conversation practice, alongside cultural and Catholic traditions. Instruction is differentiated for native speakers and beginners, fostering confidence and communication skills in real-life contexts.
