Stella Niagara believes in building character through its value-based education program. Education at Stella Niagara Education Park encompasses more than academics; it is a holistic nurturing of the intellectual, physical, social and spiritual development of young children. Stella Niagara has been sponsored by the Sisters of St. Francis of Penance and Christian Charity since 1908, and remains a private, co-educational Catholic elementary school with a continuing tradition of educational excellence. The Mission of Stella Niagara Education Park is to instill in our students our Franciscan heritage in an academic atmosphere that nurtures them physically, intellectually, emotionally, socially, and spiritually. This heritage is rooted in an understanding of the individual as unique, respected, and cherished. Stella Niagara Education Park is a community sharing a purpose and interest both in individual achievement and social responsibility.
