Our Lady of Sorrows Catholic School (OLS) has an exceptional student family relationship. Our students, their families, and our staff are truly a close community. This family atmosphere sets the stage for us to individually foster the religious, academic, and social development of every child from 3K through 8th grades in a way other private schools may find challenging.
At OLS we provide a comprehensive academic Christ-centered curriculum with a variety of enrichment opportunities for your child in a safe environment. Our enhancements include a number of helpful resources at every level. We offer advanced math, a STEM program, robotics, Spanish, Catechesis of the Good Shepherd (Atrium), fine arts, leadership possibilities, competitive athletics, and much more. School counselors and resource teachers are also on our staff to help ensure a positive academic experience for everyone. We even offer before and after school care as well as other additional after school programs.
We are proudly accredited by Cognia, and our high academic standards allow our students to experience a number of high profile opportunities, including qualifying and being recognized as a part the National Junior Honor Society. In recent years, OLS even had a contender in the Scripps National Spelling Bee! Based on our solid elementary foundation, over the years, many OLS alumni have received unlimited scholarship opportunities with several being honored as National Merit Scholar finalists!
