OLPH Academy believes that we, the staff, have been called to a very special mission:educating students in a Christ-like environment.
We believe that all students deserve a great education in a place where they feel safe, respected, and loved.
We believe that all staff deserve a great place to work where they are safe, respected, valued for their God-given gifts, and given the opportunity to grow in their faith and profession.
OLPH Academy serves students from PreK through fifth grade and integrates the Catholic faith and beliefs with the traditional academic curriculum. We form our students in Gospel values, provide opportunities for worship and participation in Sacraments, and incorporate activities to practice living out our faith in service to others. We believe it is therefore imperative to:
- 1) establish a Catholic school environment that is structured, disciplined, and conducive to teaching and learning.
- 2) recruit, secure, and retain highly qualified teachers who genuinely care about our students and are dedicated to our mission and philosophy;
- 3) maintain optimal teacher/student ratios to establish small class sizes in order to meet students' academic needs and maximize the results;
- 4) communicate frequently with and enlist the support of parents and guardians;
- 5) emphasize a strong foundation in the core subjects and providing opportunities for activities that peak the interest of all students.

We are new to Corpus Christi, Texas, and definitely new to Our Lady-in just the month that our daughter has attended Our Lady we have not been able to say enough good things about the school!! we have never seen teachers that care the way that the staff at Our Lady does! The school has a very strong principal who holds the school to a caliber of excellence. We are so completely blessed to be a part of this school.

I have nothing but utmost respect and appreciation for my daughter's school, OLPHA, and their staff. They go beyond what is expected to make the kids excell in academics, their confidence, respect for others, and their love for and faith in God. That's what these young children need in their fresh young minds. Thank you OLPHA. You are the best.

One of the best Catholic Schools in the city. I love the small tight community that OLPHA has and the student ratio is perfect for learning and growing. I love that my daughter is surrounded by Gods love and her Catholic faith and community she can learn and be her true self.
