About Our School
Welcome to St Benild School.
Welcome to St Benild School. St Benild is a small church school forming part of Stella Maris College. St Benild is found in Sliema, hosting around 144 students in Grade 1 and Grade 2 and around 23 educators give their service. After finishing Grade 2, the students will automatically move to Stella Maris Junior School located in Gzira. St Benild and Stella Maris were founded by the Brothers of the Christian Schools – De La Salle Brothers.
The Lasallian Educators at St Benild base their teaching and model the Gospel of Jesus Christ Faith in the Presence of God. Educators follow the five core principles of Lasallian Education –
- Presence of God,
- Concern for the Poor and Social Justice,
- Respect for All Persons,
- Quality Education,
- Inclusive Community.

Our Values
A Lasallian school is a Christian Catholic school and is organised around the principles and values of De La Salle. This means that each student is respected as a unique person, encouraged to grow in a community among educators, education leaders, and peers that are people of faith and zeal. Our Ethos is very important to Lasallian Community at Stella Maris and we believe it makes us unique. We try to nurture outstanding ambassadors for the younger generation and worthy contributors to the island.
Our Ethos is very important to us and we believe it makes us unique. The young men we nurture are outstanding ambassadors for the younger generation and invaluable contributors to the local community.
Our students are encouraged to show solidarity and altruism with those in need and be responsible citizens. While learning different subjects is an important aspect of every learner's daily life, no real growth can be achieved unless the individual grows to be tolerant, respectful and loyal to the college values.
