St. Mel School vs. Our Lady Of Angels School

St. Mel School exists to develop the talents and abilities of tomorrow's citizens.

St. Mel School exists for the total development of each individual child spiritually, intellectually, socially and physically.

Through the combined efforts of our community, church, parents and educators, the school emphasizes Christian education in order to help students internalize those values, which will make them secure in their beliefs, and able to cope with a continually changing world.

We believe that all children can learn and that the knowledge they acquire through study and experience, will enable them to think logically and independently in order to achieve the greatest possible development of potential.

At St. Mel School, we are committed to providing a safe, positive learning/working environment for everyone in our school.

We aspire to foster respect for staff and students, for one another and all whom we meet.

The establishment of Our Lady of Angels goes back before 1922 with the arrival of the Franciscan Fathers.

The property on the Rocky River Valley, just a few blocks north of Kamm's Corner, now known as Rocky River Dr., was bought by Franciscan Priests to build a seminary.

This very same seminary became a parish for people in the surrounding area.
