"Classical Learning" is the bedrock of Western civilization. At OLMC we can benefit from the wisdom that has made American culture the most generous, knowledgeable, and successful, to this point, in history. We thank the administration, facility, and the broad-based curriculum that helps build character in our children.

How does one encapsulate in a few sentences all the good qualities of a school for which they are uprooting their lives, selling their home, just to be closer? He/she does not. However, I can mention the wondrous classical curriculum, the talented teachers, the special subjects taught (gardening and food preparation, chess, classical and sacred music), the fabulous culture, and Christ-centered environment of the school. THIS is true Catholic education as it was intended and solid academics all wrapped into one. We consider ourselves blessed to be a part of it.
