News from our Parish School

January brings with it the anticipation of a new year. So too, it opens the preparations for a new school year for September! Yes, believe it or not, work is now beginning on the plans for the upcoming school year. Much like secondary school applications, it's really never too early to make your plans.

Is Our Lady of Sorrows School a consideration for your family? A virtual tour is always available on our website (www.olsschool.us) but an in-person visit really allows you to experience our school! Consider these facts:

• Catholic schools offer faith formation, high academic standards, values-added education, and a safe and secure school environment.
• Student-teacher ratio in Catholic schools has a better average.
• Currently, 6 of the 9 Supreme Court justices attended Catholic schools.
• Catholic schools have a 99% graduation rate.
• Catholic school students score significantly above the national averages on standardized testing.
• Catholic schools strive to create a special bond among the students, the home, the school, and the church, so that all share the strong sense of community.
• Catholic schools represent affordable excellence; there is an emphasis on efficiency and accountability.
• Tuition cost is often supplemented, allowing students to enjoy private school benefits at a bargain rate.

One of the most important decisions you'll ever make as a parent is where to send your child for elementary and high school. Take the time to learn about the excellence offered by Our Lady of Sorrows School in a loving environment!

Our official " Open House" is Sunday, January 31, but welcoming homes are always open to friends! Stop by to say hello, give us a call to learn a bit more about our program. Tuition costs are spread throughout the school year, and are often far less than preschool programs. We offer before and after school care, private tutoring, and special needs programs with highly skilled faculty. Come by to say hello, we promise we'll make you feel right at home!
