Our Lady Academy

I have been teaching at OLA for 21 years and consider it to be the best available school for young women to develop intellectually, spiritually and morally. We constantly address issues such as bullying. Recently we have divided the entire school community into "sisterhoods", each based on a Mercy value. These include Diversity, Justice, Hospitality, Dignity and Stewardship. We are not perfect, but we truely believe we are "Equiping young women for earth without unfitting them for heaven."

My daughter currently goes to this school, but I am considering taking her out. We do not have the kind of money most of the other girls have, so now my daughter is a target for bullying. She comes home crying most days. Not very good moral values.

Our Lady Academy deserves the highest of praise. OLA is a nurturing environment for young women and promotes not only excellent academics but community service, top-notch athletics, and moral values as well. There is no amount of money a parent could spend that could deliver such value.

We pray that you can get this school up and running again !Since Katrina many have had to go elsewhere and it is not by choice. Best of luck to all in Bay St. Louis, MS.

My daughter attended OLA 7th-12th grade and recently graduated in 2004. My daughter has been in private schools all her life. She is a highly intelligent young woman with outstanding faith, morals, goals, and achievements. We are very proud of her and our decision to send our daughter to the most elite school on the Coast.
