Cognia Accreditation

At Christ Our King-Stella Maris School, we are proud to be accredited by the Cognia Global Commission, a prestigious organization that recognizes institutions committed to excellence in education. Our accreditation affirms that we meet rigorous performance standards and continuously strive to enhance the learning experience for all students.

Cognia's Performance Standards are built on four key characteristics that define an exceptional learning environment:

1. Culture of Learning

At COKSM, we foster a culture of learning that aligns with our mission and vision. We believe that education goes beyond the classroom--it's about creating a community where students, parents, and educators feel connected and engaged. From student work displayed throughout the school to active parent participation in school events, our learning environment reflects our commitment to excellence.

2. Leadership for Learning

Strong leadership is essential for student success. Our administrators and faculty lead by example, continuously engaging in their own professional growth while supporting the learning process for students. Through clear communication, consistent expectations, and a commitment to lifelong learning, our leadership team creates an environment where both students and educators thrive.

3. Engagement in Learning

True learning happens when students are actively involved. At COKSM, we emphasize student engagement, fostering confidence and a love for learning in every classroom. Our school promotes inclusive learning experiences, ensuring that all students have opportunities to participate, collaborate, and take ownership of their educational journey.

4. Growth in Learning

Education is a continuous journey, and we are dedicated to preparing our students for the next stage of their academic and personal growth. Whether transitioning to higher grade levels or moving on to high school, COKSM students develop the knowledge, skills, and confidence needed to succeed. Our commitment to high academic standards and faith-based values ensures that every learner is equipped to meet future challenges.

As a Cognia-accredited institution, Christ Our King-Stella Maris School remains steadfast in its mission to nurture, challenge, and inspire students in a supportive and faith-filled learning environment. We are proud to uphold these standards of excellence and continue providing a top-tier Catholic education for our students.
