Catholic Education
An Academic Experience
You Can Have Faith In
Our Lady of Perpetual Help School is a fully accredited
Catholic School established in 1964. Our students
consistently excel in standardized testing. Our school
is small enough to create a nurturing environment
where students enjoy learning, yet large enough to
offer a comprehensive and challenging curriculum
and resources to promote academic excellence.
Preschool/Pre-Kindergarten Programs
Financial Feasibility
We offer nurturing developmental programs for
three and four year old preschoolers. We emphasize motor, visual, language, and social skills
development. There is also a 5 day a week Pre-K
program especially geared to prepare students for
elementary education. The preschool is a separate
building with its own enclosed playground area.
The students often visit the main school for special
activities.
Private education is not out of your reach. We
are committed to keeping tuition affordable for
everyone. Every student’s tuition is subsidized
by our supportive parish and parent association.
Beyond the Classroom
Students may explore their talents in a variety of
activities. Upper grade students serve in school
leadership roles planning and executing school
activities and service projects. We have a beautiful
gymnasium and soccer field on site.

We have caring and experienced teachers who
serve as role models of our faith. They inspire
academic achievement, talent development,
and spiritual growth. Teachers are assisted by
a teacher’s aide in grades K-4.

learning at our school. Computer education
begins in kindergarten. We have a computer
lab, as well as laptop computers available for
every student to use in the classroom.
