We have been a happy OLF Family for 2 years. Our daughter absolutely loves going to school each day--from day one! The Principal, teachers, and office staff are experienced, professional, personable, and caring. They lead with just the right balance of expectation, structure, and nurture. High student test scores are a testimony to OLF`s excellent teachers with proven track records and class curriculums. OLF offers a well-rounded student experience inside the classroom and out (e.g., field trips, sports, stewardship, volunteerism, community involvement, after-school enrichment programs, etc). Small class size (most under 20/class) means that no one falls through the cracks and all are encouraged (and eager!) to become "doers" through participation in leadership, volunteerism, arts, sports, and other extracurricular activities like state and county-wide competitions. I am constantly impressed by the students' high level of confidence, effective articulation, and outward expression and demonstration of caring toward one another. We can't say enough about the OLF family community, which is a truly amazing, involved group of parents and extended families. We look forward to our daughter's continued academic and developmental journey as she learns and grows into a thoughtful, faith-filled, socially-conscious, and confident young lady over her next 8 years at OLF. We feel blessed to be an OLF Family!

Our Lady of Fatima School Teachers and parents are amazing. I walked on to this campus 11 years ago when I was invited to Special Persons Day. I was treated with such kindness it felt as if it was Family. When I went home I told my husband of how it was and that if we had children I would want them to attend OLF. Well a year later we had our son and before he turned 2 we moved from San Diego County to San Clemente so our son could go to OLF. He is now in 6th grade. We have a wonderful Principal, Mrs. Joanne Williams, who we love.
