After taking one step on campus, I knew that Our Lady of Perpetual Help (OLPH) was the right place…read morefor my kids. Living in the area, we are fortunate to have many options to consider: from public, to charters, to private faith and non-faith based schools. And, although my husband is an alumni of OLPH, I did not want that to influence my decision. However, I simply could not deny how comfortable I immediately felt and how impressed I was with the tour. It started with the kindness that I received as I walked into the office to start my tour. Another parent overheard that I was touring and welcomed me and told me about how happy she was with the school and the faith community. My tour guide Maria was so patient and knowledgeable and answered all of my questions. And let me tell you I threw a lot at her as I'd done my homework! One thing that struck me was that no matter where we went on campus, there were connections. It became clear how much teachers and staff truly love what they do. Multiple teachers have 20+ year legacies, while others are former alumni, and still others started as homeroom moms and are now on the administrative staff! What makes them stay? Their dedication to educating children and providing a faith-based environment, their devotion to their teaching ministry, and the amazing staff they work with every day to shape our children into kind, responsible young people. It isn't just the teachers who have this legacy, but it's also the parents. In fact, there are some families who have sent three generations to the school! Like my husband, many former graduates send their children to OLPH. This is what makes the community unique and special. Then, there is the academics. With small class sizes and highly qualified teachers, your child will be set up for success. Besides the core subjects, every class from K-8 learns Spanish. Additionally, the school has a Science Technology Engineering Art and Math (STEAM) room where creativity blooms. Lastly, as a faith-based school, religion is interwoven into the curriculum. The day begins with morning prayer and students volunteer to do readings over the loud speaker for all to hear. With weekly Mass and Sacrament preparation included in the day, children become full members of the church by the end of the third grade. Not Catholic? No problem! Although religion is a required part of the curriculum, receiving the Sacraments is a personal choice and many families choose our school with different religious or non-religious beliefs. We have a great sports program, wonderful pre- and post-school care, after school homework help, and so many fun enrichment programs to extend the day. We even have a Transitional Kindergarten program! We are a tremendous feeder into parochial high schools, with most of our 8th graders feeding into Brophy, Xavier, Notre Dame and others. Go take a tour today. I promise you won't be disappointed!

I ran across Midtown Primary and Principal Ms. Belinda reached back out to me immediately with information about the school and answered any questions I had.

I feel like my children will be safe, happy and have a great learning experience here. I love that each classroom has an assistant teacher as well. That is so necessary in schools today to ensure no child is left behind when learning and that teachers are not overworked and stressed out. Nice kitchen area and cafeteria where they are served breakfast, snack, lunch and dinner. Nice playground with plenty of open space and shaded outdoor seating. Classrooms are nice size with bright colors and fun decor to make learning exciting. I cant wait for my kiddos to start here.

The holistic nature of my daughter s education is by far one of my favorite qualities of this program. She has not only learned the necessary curriculum per state standards, but she has also been taught skills that will help her both in the classroom and out. The enthusiasm and knowledge of the staff is another quality that makes this program so special, plus the way the teachers make use of different materials, technologies and even the outdoors as teaching platforms. Throughout the years I have seen my daughter grow and mature, but never as fast or as markedly as she has during her years in middle school. While she has certainly been allowed to be her fun-loving self (and that s very important to me), she has learned to be poised when speaking before a room full of strangers, she has learned organizational skills that will take her through high school and beyond, and she has learned to be responsible for her self and her work every step of the way. Thank you, Mission Montessori, for helping me raise a young woman who will undoubtedly make this world a better place.

She has been such a positive influence on our son and has played a huge role in helping him grow more confident and independent. One of the biggest milestones she has helped him with is potty training, and her encouragement and consistency have made such a difference. She knows how to teach responsibility and independence while still making children feel cared for, supported, and safe. What stands out most about Ashley is the heart she puts behind everything she teaches. She doesn't just tell the children what to do--she helps them understand, encourages them to try, and celebrates their progress. She has a wonderful way of holding children accountable while still making them feel loved and capable. We have seen our son grow so much under her care, and we truly believe Ashley has helped give him the confidence to take on new challenges. Knowing that he is spending his days with someone who genuinely cares about him means so much to us as parents. We are incredibly thankful for Ashley and the positive impact she has had on our son's life. She is the kind of teacher families remember long after their children leave her classroom, and we feel very lucky that our son has had her as part of his early childhood experience.
