Stella Maris Co-Op

Stella Maris is a co-op for middle and high school students (and their younger siblings).

Looking for classes for your high school or middle school students that are hard to replicate at home or need to be done in a group setting? Or maybe a community where students can form friendships and grow in their understanding of Catholic Culture? What if you could get both? And also have them work on critical thinking and memory skills at the same time?

Then Stella Maris might be just what you are looking for! We have a Drama class that performs two plays a year. We have an Art Appreciation class with a focus on Sacred Art. We also have classes that will teach life skills and handiworks, like baking, finance, gardening and mending. We will also be doing basket weaving, knitting and graphic design.

Stella Maris is a co-op geared towards high schoolers, middle schoolers, and their younger siblings, with a mission to establish a community enabling them to develop relationships with each other and strengthen their Catholic Worldview.

We are blessed in our Church with many traditions and feasts that make up the liturgical year. As a community, we will celebrate these traditions and feasts. The Stella Maris Co-op Art Class will study Sacred Art and practice the techniques of great artists. Skills class will help the students learn life skills, handicrafts, patience and perseverance. Cooperative games will help strengthen relationships as well as critical thinking skills and core subject knowledge. Drama will develop confidence, comradery, and creativity.

The Whens and Where:

We will meet on Mondays from 10a-3p in North Raleigh. 

The Cost:

The cost for this co-op is a free-will offering to the parish that we will collect each semester, plus a supply fee for each project (which usually ranges from $2 - $5.) 

The Parent Expectation:

While we do ask that everyone help in some way, we realize that will look differently for each family. We need teachers, assistant teachers, event coordinators, etc., and we are eager to see what talents each parent can bring to our community.
