SUPPORT

Generations of parents, alumni, faculty and staff, and friends have invested in the future of our school for over 135 years with generous philanthropic funding, as well as gifts of time, treasure and talent.

Giving is an integral part of the success of OLMC. The extraordinary generosity of our current and alumni families, as well as the broader community, allows us to sustain and advance our mission: To provide a balanced, diverse, and faithful community that prepares students academically, socially, and ethically for higher learning and for life.

Our Annual Appeal, along with other fundraisers held throughout the year, help to keep tuition as low as possible, while continuing to offer the exceptional education families have come to expect at OLMC. 

 

WE PAY TUITION.

WHY DO WE NEED TO FUNDRAISE? 

Annual fundraising is not an add-on, it is part of the budget. As with all private schools, tuition dollars do not cover the full cost of educating students. The gap between tuition and the actual cost of each student attending Our Lady of Mount Carmel School is approximately $2,500. Fundraising is important because it bridges the gap between tuition and our actual operating costs.

Our students are counting on us to keep tuition affordable for families who come from a variety of socioeconomic backgrounds, and to secure OLMC's ability to offer exceptional education to our current students and future generations.
