Stella Maris Initiative
Welcome to the Stella Maris Initiative Homepage!
Our mission is to serve Catholic homeschooled teens and their families. We coordinate quality core subject and enrichment classes for high school students in one location once a week.
The mission of the Stella Maris Initiative includes the following aims: to help families achieve their high academic goals for high school and nurture their own unique culture; to encourage freedom and self- determination in learning; to harness the gifts and skills of our community members; and to cultivate a healthy social atmosphere of trust, confidence, and openness to authentic human interactions.
- Fast Facts:
- • Who: Students who are 13 and up and in the 9th-12th grades.
- • Where: Glen Ellyn, IL
- • Contact: stellamarisinitiative@gmail.com
- • When: Every Wednesday from September-May
- • Stella Maris is a drop off program, and parents are not required to stay. However, we may ask parents to volunteer to chaperone as needed.
- • Stella Maris classes are offered on an a la carte basis; a student may register for one or more classes on a first come, first serve basis. Teachers will have the final say on minimum/maximum number of students in each class.
- • Younger siblings that need to be with a parent who is chaperoning or waiting in the building on non-CCM Wednesdays may use the study classrooms (for quiet homework), gym, or nursery as needed.
