Our teachers and staff value the exceptional Catholic environment we offer that embraces the formation of strong moral character. Through the holistic Catholicity of our programs, we encourage our students to become intentional disciples of Christ.At OLMC, we integrate Catholic teachings in our classes and activities, and we encourage our students to embrace their learning.
Our faculty believe each student can learn with a growth mindset, where the innate abilities a student brings to the school can be further developed through dedication and hard work.
We believe each student at OLMC has the right and expectation to experience learning every day. A true sense of community and family is also a key element of our school.
OLMC is a place where each student is known by name and greeted personally every day.
Many of our students are children of OLMC graduates and/or OLMC teachers.
This is a wonderful endorsement by those who know us best of the quality of education received at our school.
In his book, Random Thoughts The Humanity of Teaching, history
professor Louis Schmier writes:
"Education without caring, without a soul, without spirit,
without purpose beyondsubject matter is as viable as a person
with a brain but without a heart. Pedagogy,technology, and
techniques are no substitute for love and caring."
We, at OLMC School, derive inspiration from Dr. Schmier`s
words. As educators, we are acutely aware that each student has
innate differences and demonstrates uniqueness in their
intellectual, emotional and spiritual growth. Such diversity is
further extended in a classroom where students arrive from
different families and backgrounds.Our challenge as Catholic
educators in addressing this diversity is to recognize the humanity
of each student, while creating an environment that contributes to
their integral human formation in the context of a Christian
community.
Accepting students for who they are and embracing the whole
student is essential for successful teaching. To be a successful
educator, one must identify each student`s unique learning style,
establish a bond of trust with each student, and create a learning
environment that is supportive, caring, and nurturing. All
students present a unique learning profile, with a distinctive set
of strengths and weaknesses. It is the essence of education to
understand each student`s individuality and to contribute to the
development of the whole student.
In today`s secular and pluralistic society it is critical not
only to teach content knowledge but to challenge students to rise
above peer pressures and remain committed to Catholic values of
compassion, acceptance, honesty, and generosity. Classrooms need to
be a safe haven for students where they feel free to express their
thoughts and feelings and where they appreciate policies of
acceptance, tolerance, kindness and compassion for others. As
Catholic educators, we are called upon to be witnesses to the
faith, demonstrating through our actions a commitment to a life
lived in accordance with the Gospel.This holds true not only
for our interaction with students, but also within the larger
community of the Catholic school, including colleagues and
parents.
Our dedication to education is connected to our student
centeredness and our belief in the holistic development of our
students. Our strength in pursuing this dedication with humility
and compassion is found, quite simply, through our journey of
faith.
