This is a public charter school in Great Mills Maryland. A public charter school differs from a…read moreprivate charter School in that it is still controlled by the State board of education and competes with other public schools. Enrollment is kindergarten through 8th grade. Teacher to student ratios is 13 to 1. Enrollment is listed at just under 500. I'm usually in the building on weekends to participate in an indoor men's pickleball League. The facility is clean.

My daughter has been here for a year, and after going to a "top of the line" daycare, where she was boxed in and miserable, she has grown into a happy and talkative little girl who loves her school, her friends, and her teacher!!!! Couldn't ask for a better place :)

Unlike the public schools which are controlled by Union people, this school has been open since the…read morebeginning of the school year with no issues due to the virus. Enrollment is up because people want their children to get an actual education. Now those people are also finding out the benefits of Faith formation. If you're tired of the virtual classroom being forced upon you and your children by the government, now is the time to enroll them in a great private school that is also affordable.

This school, which began in 1933, has quite a history. We are proud to be part of that history, and…read morethis year, have met several people who have shared their stories. Today, OLSS School educates grades K-8th, in an environment which teaches the "whole child". The curriculum is rich in math, science, social studies and language arts. It includes Spanish beginning in Kindergarten, which is when it's best to teach any language. Also included is computer keyboarding , Art, Music, Band and PE. There is one teacher per grade, and that class size is small. Students may have an opportunity to accelerate as needed, however the curriculum is advanced and challenging, thus meeting the individual needs of each student. Parents may request a change or identify if a student is having difficulty and each situation is thus addressed as needed. Each child, and their learning styles is considered. It always helps to have parent involvement, as parents know their children from the start. I am a proud parent and volunteer from this school. I have two children who have attended since Kindergarten, and would not send my children anywhere else! Not only are the teachers passionate about teaching their students, but the parents have a sense of ownership and become as involved as they can in many ways. That sense of ownership is pride in our school. Even parents who work full time, find a way to lend a hand, or spread news about our school. Teachers take the time to get to know each student, and thus can make necessary changes and or recommendations in a team approach. OLSS Students learn character that lasts a lifetime. Trust, sharing, confidence, and perseverance are some of the concepts taught. Rules are followed and good behavior is expected. Students learn "old time" skills such as cursive handwriting , which is still important in today's world. The students have morning afternoon prayer time. Students attend Mass (usually on Wed.) and are provided with opportunities to shine in many ways. Some students use their talents in speaking to their peers, which is encouraged during assigned mass times. Each class takes a turn leading the Mass, and this helps children become comfortable reading to others and develops self confidence. Our students wear a uniform each day, which for many is a wonderful and easy way to start the day. Children don't need to wear fancy clothing to be unique. Our students do have "fun" tag days which usually revolve around a theme, and often the dollar or quarter goes to a charity. They participate in many community service projects, many of those will give them memories helping their environment, or those in need. Students at OLSS School know what it is like to "give" and how helping others is part of their helping to do God's work. OLSS Students are successful in community competitions. They have a sense of pride in participation of the County Spelling Bee, Science Fair and other competitions and sporting events. They learn fair play and how to loose as much as how to win. Many of our Alumnus have gone on to successful career paths, and some have shared their experience with our parents and students. We hope to continue to grow our school, to share our strong values with other Christians, and to do God's work to help educate students for a lifetime one at a time through building strong character and leadership.

She was responsive, organized and caring when we reached out to her. My son immediately fell in love with her and her sweet family. He didn't cry once when we dropped him off, he would say bye mama and daddy. He looked forward to go to her daycare everyday and it really made me feel like my son was being loved. She was a second mom to my son and I even trusted her over family members to watch him. If we didn't have to relocate to another state for work, my son would be with her until he had to go to kindergarten. It has been hard and sad for us leaving because we were so comfortable with her care. She's very responsive, transparent, sends photos and videos using an app and she has the kids on a schedule. My son grew so much and expanded his knowledge in her care. She was wonderful and anyone who puts their kids in her care are lucky to have her. We love you Miss Chantelle!
