Why Choose OLS?
Why Choose OLS?
An Our Lady of Sorrows Catholic School education offers more than the legacy of superior academic preparation we are known for. We welcome students of all backgrounds and faiths to experience our comprehensive education of the “whole child”; mind, body and spirit, providing students a deep sense of faith and moral character development. Our Catholic faith is at the heart of every subject we teach at OLS as we instill in each child the value of service to others. In partnership with parents, we help students develop their God-given gifts to their fullest potential and set a strong foundation of life-long success in learning. OLS is a great place to grow up!
Our Dedication

All of our elementary school teachers possess a college degree in a specialized field of education, and a state teacher’s certificate. Those teachers that teach religion also have an Archdiocesan Catechist Certification to teach Religion. The support staff is equally dedicated and qualified.
