At Our Lady of Peace School, we believe children learn and grow best when they feel safe, seen, and supported. These three words guide the community we strive to build each day. When students know they are cared for, understood, and valued, they are able to ask questions, take healthy risks, build friendships, and grow into the people God calls them to be. And yes, sometimes that growth includes learning long division, remembering to bring snow pants, and discovering that “indoor voice” is not just a suggestion.
As a branch of Our Lady of Peace Church’s ministry, our school is proud to share in the mission of forming hearts, minds, and spirits. The work of the school is not separate from the life of the parish; it is an important extension of it. Each day, our students, families, teachers, and staff bring energy, joy, curiosity, and purpose to the wider OLP community.
In our classrooms, students are developing strong academic skills in reading, writing, math, science, religion, social studies, and the arts. Just as importantly, they are learning how to work with others, solve problems, show kindness, seek forgiveness, and persevere when things are difficult. Our goal is not only to prepare students for the next grade level, but to help form young human beings who understand their gifts and are ready to make meaningful and significant impacts in their immediate communities and in the broader world around them.
This mission is made possible through partnership. As a parish and school community, we invest in our students in many ways. We invest financially through tuition support, generous giving, facilities, materials, programs, and the resources needed to provide a strong Catholic education. We also invest spiritually through prayer, worship, encouragement, service, and the daily witness of faith-filled adults who show our students what it means to follow Christ.
Thank you for being part of this partnership. Your support helps our students feel safe, seen, and supported. Together, we are building a community where children can learn joyfully, grow faithfully, and know they are deeply loved by God.
