Overview

As you consider the option of OLV School, we think you will recognize an outstanding opportunity for Catholic education at its best. OLV has long been noted for its academic excellence, superior staff, small student/teacher ratio and well-rounded graduates, and this has been recognized by the United States Department of Education's Blue Ribbon School of Excellence award. OLV has a strong Christian core, and you will find the school's commitment to education, faith, and community to be deep and abiding.

There have been many significant improvements made recently to the physical plant and curriculum. Admissions information is given on this web page, and kits may also be obtained in printed form from the school. Please send an email to admissions@olvschooldc.org or call the school at 202-337-1421 for a kit, to inquire about space availability, or for further information.
