Give Your Daughter the Space to Thrive
Welcome to Maris Stella. We are a Holy Family School dedicated to providing an all-rounded education with pupil well-being at its heart, empowering young women to become confident and resilient leaders.
Top all-rounded education with pupil well-being at its heart.
Junior Primary
Our Junior Primary department is a vibrant phase of our school offering rich and varied opportunities. The ethos and values to which the school subscribes help create coherence and a sense of belonging.
Senior Primary
Students are encouraged, challenged, and supported in a range of relevant, academic and extra-curricular activities, including leadership. Whilst we teach within the framework of the new Curriculum Assessment Policy Statement (CAPS), we are constantly extending our girls through developing problem-solving and critical thinking skills.
High School
As an all-girls high school in Durban, Maris Stella girls are taught the value of relationships, community, and sisterhood. At the same time, we challenge our girls to develop resilience and nurture them in their own individual needs so that they grow their gifts and talents for a better world.
A Top Independent Girls’ School in Durban
Maris Stella is an independent, all girls’ school in Durban, focused on empowering young women, from Grade 000 through to Grade 12, with the tools to become resilient and self-assured global citizens. As a Catholic school, our holistic education is faith-based, with a strong family-centred approach which nurtures each girl’s unique talent, potential and ability. We offer a caring and enriching place for girls to grow and learn, enabling them to find their own path, voice and purpose. In building confidence, instilling a sense of sisterhood and encouraging excellence in all aspects of school and community life, our girls are well positioned to identify and navigate new opportunities in an ever-changing, complex and challenging world.
