Why OLMC?

Home Admissions Why OLMC?

Our Lady of Mount Carmel is a PreK-8th grade college-preparatory school whose vision is to help students realize and pursue their full potential—spiritually, intellectually, physically, and socially. At OLMC, students of all levels are challenged to succeed at a high level to prepare them for future success. 

OLMC offers more than a quality education. Our dedicated educators, vibrant and involved parent community, and Catholic tradition combine to create a whole that is much greater than the sum of its parts.  There is a place for you at our table, and we invite you to get to know our OLMC Family by attending one of our admission events.

Schoolwide Learning Expectations

Our Schoolwide Learning Expectations prepare our students to leave OLMC as young adults who are ready to step up to become the leaders of tomorrow. They are at the heart everything we do in the classroom, as a school community, and reach far beyond the perimeter of our school yard.
