School Reviews
5 3/7/2020
Our girls transferred to OLMC during the school year. Of course we were anxious about how they would be received and how they would merge academically. The school and its students have been nothing but supportive! Our girls are so happy to attend each day. The love shown by the teachers, the nuns and the staff is amazing. Yet they also are very structured and disciplined with their expectations of the children. This leads to a calm, focused classroom, where children can actually learn, and a sense of security when children know what is expected of them. We have found the academics to be very good, and they have given our girls the supports they needed when they have had difficulty. Our girls have reported the other children are very kind and they feel safe welcomed. We couldn't be happier with our choice of Our lady of Mount Carmel!
