Our Lady of Mount Carmel Academy

"My son just graduated from OLMCA in June. OLMCA has become his second home where he found where he belongs. There is so much love and kindness here at OLMCA. After leaving the school during his early education years he transferred back 3 years ago and it was the best decision we ever made. I didn’t think it was possible, but by the Grace of God he was accepted. The teachers are very involved with the children and truly care about my son. They advocated for my son and they truly wanted him to succeed. They helped guide us in the right path. We are so thankful and grateful for families and friends we met at OLMCA. The OLMCA community has been so kind to us though the years. My son made many good friends at the school. Above all, I am so grateful he received a wonderful Catholic Education. He now has a faith base foundation that he will always carry with him throughout his life. Thank you so much OLMCA for giving my son the best education! My son will be attending Saint Patrick’s High School this fall! “With God All things are possible.”"

"We have been attending this lovely little school for 9 years! When we started we were within walking distance and we were looking for a place that would teach kindness and community to our preschooler. We now live 20 minutes away and my KIDS made me promise that we would not switch to a new school. They are happy to wake up early for our commute. In our time at OLMCA the school has received the Blue Ribbon twice! The test scores are consistently high and the students who graduate, not only get into the top rated high schools in the city - but they continue to succeed though their high school journey. As parents we have integrated ourselves into the school community and participated in the many social activities available to both parents and children. Our children have made great friendships and been mentored by the wonderful teachers and staff. The efforts that went into e-learning in the spring of 2020 were truly remarkable. Our kids continued to learn and be engaged despite the remote reality. This school year - we are blessed that our school offers both in person and online learning. They are going above and beyond to ensure our students remain safe during this unprecedented school year. We are so thankful to have found this school and the amazing families that love it as much as we do!"

"Both our children attend OLMCA and we are all very happy with the experience! Class size is small, teachers are wonderful, great leadership, and there is a real spirit of community amongst the parents! We are very glad to be a part of this! The pandemic response in the spring was set up quickly and worked well-virtual classrooms, e-learning resources, engaging teachers...win win win"

"Our children have been attending OLMCA for the last 6 years. We commute 30 min's by choice because once we found this school, it was a perfect fit for our family. The teachers and staff care tremendously for the students and their families. The community is close knit and down to earth which is a great contrast to living in a big city. The school has won the National Blue Ribbon twice and I have complete confidence in the academic performance of the school. OLMCA has really stepped up to the plate during quarantine with excellent e-learning resources, teacher availability and individual attention. The home school experience has only strengthened my confidence in the school."

"Amazing school and great staff! Our son transferred mid-year from a school in Georgia. He loves it at OLMCA! The teachers and staff are excellent. They went out of their way to communicate with me before our move. Once we were up here in Chicago, they've done everything possibly to make our son feel welcome. Don't hesitate to talk to OLMCA to see if the school is a right fit for your family!"
