This school is absolutely perfect. My son has thrived here. All the teachers are so incredible. During this time we have had so much attention with one on one, group and all of the co-curriculum as well! PE, art, music, world languages....the parents are all wonderful and we truly have such a special community. The principal is great and is your champion to make it the best experience for you and your family. We aren't catholic but I've never felt like we didn't belong...quite the opposite. We are so lucky to have such small class sizes so the teachers can focus on each individual

Great 4th Grade teacher and experience.. but down hill from there. The Principal is good and very helpful, but 2 years of terrible teachers can't make up for it!

Both my kids went to this school from K through 8th grade. We had a wonderful experience there. The teachers were kind and nurturing and treated the kids as individuals, accepting all their differences and quirks and channeling them in positive ways. Both my kids say they have very happy memories at OLM, and remember it as a small safe and kind school. My eldest is now in high school, and felt well prepared academically.

We wanted smaller class sizes for our son-OLM has that. We wanted a learning environment that was able to accommodate all academic levels and diversity within each class-OLM has that. We wanted a school that allowed the students to actively participate in community service and helping people in need-OLM has that. We were concerned about not being Catholic-OLM fully embraced us and not once have we ever felt anything but inclusion, love and support from this "Gem" of a school.
