Stella International School came into being on the initiative of a group of committed parents. The school seeks to provide a cosmopolitan education centred on values that will enable young people to forge the society of tomorrow. Public funds cannot cover the crucial extra support, inspiration, resources and activities a Stella education gives. It operates as a campus offering Kindergarten, Primary School and Secondary School levels and relies on community support to complement public funding.
The Stella community is built around engaged families, including Stella Fathers' Community and the Parents' association of the elementary school. Dates and events for parents and a Campus News section facilitate ongoing involvement and communication. The Stella Fathers' Community hosts events and opportunities for involvement, including family masses at St. Peter's Church and activities such as hikes, excursions, pilgrimages and barbecues.
The Stella Fathers' Community is a place of exchange between fathers of the Stella International School and fathers of the Stella Kindergarten. The community regularly offers input and inspiration on being a man and a father. It is open to fathers of all world views and is guided by Christian values. Dates and events for parents are published and contact information for group organizers is provided. Public funds cannot cover the crucial extra support, inspiration, resources and activities a Stella education provides, and donations are requested to support the school.

The school emphasises character education and leadership skills at secondary level and relies on community support, as public funds cannot cover crucial extra resources and activities for students' future success.
