Overview

Welcome to OLV
A National School of Excellence

Since 1984, Our Lady of the Valley Catholic School (OLV) has provided a Catholic education that inspires students to respond to God’s blessings through academic excellence and strong moral development. The school’s commitment to excellence has been nationally recognized twice, earning the U.S. Department of Education Blue Ribbon School of Excellence award in 1998 and 2001.

OLV welcomes students and families of all faith traditions who seek an exceptional education that nurtures well‑rounded, enlightened individuals grounded in the Gospel values of Jesus Christ. Our students are encouraged to grow as people of faith, integrity, and responsibility.

Graduates of OLV enter high school well prepared—academically, socially, and spiritually. They leave with a deep appreciation for the gift of their education and an understanding of their responsibility to use that gift to positively impact the world around them.

A Caring Family of Faith

For both parents and students, the OLV community quickly becomes like family. Students thrive in a nurturing environment where they feel safe, welcomed, and loved. Much like within a family, they learn to care for one another, offer support, and build lifelong friendships.

OLV’s dedicated and compassionate faculty, together with our engaged parents, serve as faith‑filled role models and create a school‑family learning community. This partnership inspires children to respond to God’s blessings through self‑discipline, academic achievement, and a commitment to being instruments of peace and love to others.

Learning to Love, Loving to Learn

The boundless talents of our faculty, combined with expansive facilities and a comprehensive curriculum, create rich opportunities for children to grow physically, socially, emotionally, academically, and spiritually. Research‑based instructional methods actively engage students, fostering not only strong academic understanding but also a lifelong love of learning.

At OLV, students experience a faith‑centered education in which they deepen their relationship with Christ, pray together, reflect on how faith shapes their perspectives, and learn to live according to God’s greatest commandment: “to love one another as I have loved you.”
