Our Lady of Mercy School

Our Lady of Mercy School is a wonderful school. The academics are terrific. The leadership skill training is outstanding. From Kindergarten through 8th Grade, leadership and public speaking skills are encouraged and developed. OLM provides the foundation and values needed for success.

At OLM, they educate the whole child. It is an excellent school where students are encouraged to learn in a positive environment. The school community is a close knit group and you truly feel like family there. As a parent, I wanted a place where my child would have an excellent education as well as develop friendships and a sense of community.

After having my children at OLMS for 9 years I can honestly say they are as hapy as I am with the school and the atmosphere which is very positive and academically challenging. I have no regrets on my decision to send my children to OLMS and would recommed it to any new parent looking for a great little school.

This is truly a Brilliant school. We started our child off in public school, but were terribly dissatisfied and needed to find a school that would ensure that our child would get the best possible education. What a difference! Our teacher truly cares that the children not only receive the fundamentals, but that the foundation for future learning is properly built, and that the LOVE of learning is also nurtured! The school environment is warm, creative, and modern, while remaining organized and well grounded in 'tried and true' traditional methods as well. The community of parents is also amazing, it's like an extended family where parents help each other and work together to help their school. Our only regret is that we didn't put our child in Our Lady of Mercy straight from the beginning, but at least our younger children will benefit from our older child's experience.

I am the current parent of 4 students at OLM. We LOVE the school. The teaching staff is second to none. As a former educator, I couldn't be happier with our decision to attend OLM. The 'not-so flattering' review below is honestly the first negative thing I have heard from a student during our years at OLM. We have experienced all aspects of PK/K, lower & upper school, and have nothing but positive things to say. I will;however, admit that although my overall opinion of the Early Learning Center is tops, I will say that if you are looking for a structured educational based pk program, there are others out there for the same tuition. Our decision with our fourth child was to take advantage of other opportunities & return him for K-8.

I am an alumna of OLMS, and my youngest child of four children is now enrolled at the school. After spending 14 years at public schools with my older children, it is a tremendous relief to be involved at OLMS! One visit to the school and you will immediately sense an atmosphere of peace, serenity and community. The children from early childhood through grade 8 interact with each other on a daily basis, modeling excellent behavior, compassion and understanding. The academics are rigorous, with students ranking 1-3 years above grade level on standardized tests. Even better, students can speak freely about God, and learn to live and love through faith in action.

I'm an alumna.. I graduated in 2004 after spending four great years at OLM. While at OLM, i had the oppurtunity to play softball, basket ball, and soccer, have an active role in the drama program, be an attorney on the mock trial team,act as editor in chief of the school newspaper,as well as serving as vice president of the Student Council..things i could not have done at a very large school. OLM prepared me for the real world while giving me a great education. The students in my class were all accepted to our top choice high schools, and many of us were also offered numerous academic scholarships. With the exception of a limited few, the teachers care about the students...I still talk to my teachers. In addition, the small classes enable the students to be very close-knit.. I still treasure the memories made at this wonderful school.

I'm not a parent, I'm an alumni- but I just have to warn you, other than a small amount of teachers, this school is not good. With the exception of Mrs. Feeney and Mrs. Cerjanec, the teachers are actually pretty mean. One of them actually read my very low french grade aloud so people could laugh at me. It has a very clichy atmosphere, and if you do send your kids there, which I suggest you don't, make sure you ask them if there okay alot, because my parents never knew I was severely depressed there. I don't even know one student who enjoyed their time there. I am speaking from direct experience, avoid this school. The 'music program' is one day a week, a person comes to the school, and you go to the school early, and other than athletics, there are no extracurriculars.

This School is a gift from God for our family. In this ever changing world it is comforting to know that you can still send your children off every morning and they will recieve a top notch education while at the same time learn in an enviroment that is structured. They learn about their faith and what it is to be a good person. All the parents are on the same page and want the same for their children. Highly recomend it for todays family!
