Our Mother of Consolation, a Catholic elementary school of the
Archdiocese of Philadelphia, was founded in 1862. In 1881, the
doors at the present location, 17 E. Chestnut Hill Avenue, were
opened. The school is staffed by the Sisters of St. Joseph and lay
faculty. Our Mother of Consolation serves the educational needs of
children from pre-kindergarten through grade eight. Our average
class size is 23 students. OMC carries a rich tradition of
education to many fourth and fifth generation families attending
the School. OMC School exists to promote spiritual and academic
growth in a Catholic Christian environment. The triad of church,
school, and home act co-educationally to provide a positive,
faith-filled educational environment. Our teachers provide a
setting motivated by love of learning. We promote relationships
based on respect and dignity. OMC School is accredited by the
Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools.
