What families are saying about Our Lady of Lourdes
“…There are so many positive things about OLL: their uniform policy ensures that everyone is on equal footing; they have specialists that make learning more enjoyable (Spanish, Band, Music, PE, Library); they have a service requirement for students, which helps broaden their perspectives. The curriculum is rigorous and the teachers are kind, but firm (and flexible when needed). I have had positive interactions with all of the teachers, and my child feels like the expectations laid out for her are clear. Her testing shows that she is making gains academically, which is nice, but her attitude shows that she is making gains as a person, that is part of a bigger community and that is priceless. The name of the OLL Preschool is “Little Blessings,” and I truly feel that is how Lourdes students are valued, individually and collectively. “

“An exceptional community, a top-notch school. We have so enjoyed seeing OLL become a part of our family life. Such kindness, inclusion, excellence, and sincere caring at every turn.”
Molly Beauregard, Parent
“We have explored many preschool options in the area and after being at a few others, Little Blessings is by far our favorite. My daughter loves going, and I feel that she has gained some excellent skills that will be used to help her in education for the rest of her life. This school is a great value and I love that it is not a daycare, it is actually a school where they have a curriculum to help them succeed in the next years class.”

“This is our first year at Lourdes and we absolutely love it. The small class sizes and communication from teachers are a big part of our satisfaction. Lourdes is a wonderful & supportive community”
Lauren S. Parent
“Our daughter started attending OLL for preschool during the 2021-22 school year. We moved from out of area and the transition was really tough for her. The teachers in her classroom have helped her grow leaps and bounds socially and in the classroom. Because of the great community, academics, small class sizes and leadership on campus she will continue to attend kindergarten in the fall. “
Laura Harmon, Parent
“From the teachers and staff, to the interactions our kids have with their classmates and the opportunities they have to engage in their faith and service projects, everything about this school is geared toward helping children live up to their fullest potential. We love this school!”
Leanne Williams, Parent
“Great community to raise your children with an emphasis on service. Children work hard and care about the world around them.”
Kathleen O’Claire, Parent
“We have been at this school for over 3 years now. The school curriculum offers a wide variety of subjects which helps the children to become well rounded and knowledgeable. There is also a wonderful emphasis on service and giving back to the community. The teachers and staff are extraordinary and really have a passion and caring for each individual student. Very satisfied with the level of education provided..”

“”The Cooperative Problem Solving for a Sustainable Environment presentations (from OLL 7th grade) were so complete, well thought out and well done. It was very interesting and I learned from it – especially in the area of cooperative problem solving. Radical listening, CBNRM in Botswana, palm oil issues – I took notes, and will be doing some research to learn more. I love the way the audience was involved, very creative and most affective. Thank you so much for inviting me. And – as I’ve said before, if I had it all to do over again yours is the school I’d want to attend in my childhood, such a wonderful place, solid community, great learning environment.”
