Maris Stella School Primary School is located in Essenwood. At Maris Stella, each member of our school family is encouraged to shine their own unique light.  Meaning Star of the Sea, Maris Stella focusses on the holistic development of our girls, educating academically, morally, spiritually, as well as physically.  Our strong school spirit and family involvement makes it a caring, happy place for our girls to grow and learn.  We encourage service to the wider community which is evidenced in the many outreach projects we support.

A Holy Family School established in 1899, our unique, multi-faceted campus caters for girls from Grade 000 to Grade 12.  This wide ranging age group fosters a sense of family and all denominations and faiths are welcome.  Our aim is to instil our girls with the necessary life skills, knowledge and values, including confidence, self respect, loyalty and tolerance, to enable them to make positive contributions to South Africa and the world as a whole.
