As a Catholic parent, one of the most important decisions in your life and in the lives of your children is that of choosing the education that will most benefit them. Consider the following reasons a Catholic school is right for your children.
Catholic schools:
Work closely with you for the good of your children.
Continue the religious formation of your children begun in your home.
Have clear and precise goals.
Provide a challenging atmosphere.
Maintain a secure environment.
Have educators who believe that all children can succeed.
Our Lady of Sorrows is a Roman Catholic Pre K-8 school in Hamilton, NJ founded in 1955 that offers an educational program based on the current Diocese of Trenton and New Jersey State Standards. Educational goals are met through the use of an integrated curriculum with emphasis on meeting the academic needs of the individual child. All students are challenged to fully develop their spiritual, intellectual, social and emotional selves in a Catholic environment. Life-long learning skills are nurtured along with an awareness of each person's role as a Christian witness in a global Community.
Whether you are a parent or not, Catholic Schools need everyone's help and here are some reasons for doing so:
At Baptism we joined the family of God and were charged to become evangelizers. We do this chiefly by acting in a Christ-like manner. Catholic educators do this in a more formal manner by actively assisting in passing on the faith to the next generation. We need to support our Catholic schools. We here at OLS, and as a part of the Diocese of Trenton, thank the parents who send their children to our school as well as the generous parishioners for their financial support.
Catholic schools are a great gift to the nation. Large numbers of Catholic schools provide top-quality education to very poor children. These children then become productive members of society. In the diocese of Trenton, our enrollment is the highest in 10 years and many schools have waiting lists.
