Breakfast with Santa
OLV's annual Breakfast with Santa is held in December. A good time is had by all, partaking of wonderful food, talking to Santa, and finding presents for parents!
Classroom
Classes are small at OLV, permitting more student involvement and contact with teachers. Emphasis is on traditional academic pursuits from an early age, rather than educational fads. Students are well prepared for the competitive academic environment they will face after graduation, as well as for engaging the social and political challenges of our time.
Community Service
OLV also participates in community service projects such as Shepherd's Table/Help the Homeless, to enable students to become more aware of the world around them and what they can do to help make it a better place.
Extended Day Program
A before and after school programs is available on days when school is in session. This program is supervised by OLV's own teachers! Attendance is permitted on a monthly contract or a drop/in basis. Learn more about tuition & fees.
Father-Daughter Dance
The annual OLV Father-Daughter Dance is held in the Spring. Fathers, daughters, and teachers enjoy a wonderful evening of dancing and refreshments!
Library
OLV students have at their disposal a well-equipped library, and enjoy weekly library visits with age-appropriate material. They learn to use library facilities and resources properly. Visits to the local public library branch (only two blocks away) are also conducted regularly.
Martial Arts Club
The martial arts at the OLV Club are predominantly based on Tang Soo Do, a Korean martial art developed in the 1940s and 1950s and itself based on Japanese Shotokan Karate and some styles of Chinese Kung Fu. Like all Korean martial arts, Tang Soo Do has high and powerful kicks, but it also retains the lower kicks and strong hand techniques of karate. Learn more about the Martial Arts Club or download a sign-up form.
Religious Program
OLV welcomes students of all denominations. Catholic religious instruction is given in the classroom by certified instructors. In addition to formal daily instruction, the religious program provides opportunities for students to practice and live their faith through participation in monthly and special liturgies, preparation for and reception of sacraments, and participation in social service activities.
Saturday Morning Basketball
OLV dads Dan Kerns, Mark Neustadt, Jim Lonergan, Pat Burke and Paul Aninos, have organized a Saturday morning basketball session for younger kids and league participation for older kids. This is a very popular program! Special thanks to Dan Kerns for allowing us to use the Georgetown Visitation gym!
