- Welcome to Our Lady of the Lakes!
  
  Dear Prospective Families,
  
  Thank you for your interest in Our Lady of the Lakes Catholic School! The Admissions portion of our website will give you all of the information that you need to apply to Our Lady of the Lakes. As you become familiar with our school, we hope you will note a few things:
  
  We are a Pre-K through 12 Catholic School and a family campus! Our parish and school offer opportunities for your whole family. Learn about our traditions and opportunities here on our website.
  
  Our Early Childhood Program (Pre-K3, Pre-K4 and K) offers developmentally appropriate activities and learning opportunities in a warm and nurturing environment. All students are engaged and grow with a rich Catholic faith experience daily.
  
  The elementary division offers an enriching curriculum that challenges students to explore and excel in all areas. Our students are encouraged and supported as they strive to be the best version of themselves while they lay the foundation for the next level of education.
  
  Our unique middle school model combines the seventh and eighth grade students into the same classrooms for core subjects and electives. Theology is separated by grade level, and math is taught at four levels according to our students’ individual needs. Our middle school teachers work to build a strong community of students while preparing them for the rigors of high school, all while keeping in mind their age.
  
  Our Lady of the Lakes High School offers a rigorous college preparatory curriculum, and is filled with a diverse selection of course offerings that are based on the needs and interests of each student. We offer small class sizes, student interest based electives, Oakland Technical, AP Courses, resource room, ANCHOR Program/non-public school plans and an array of online classes. There are also virtual and split schedule options.
  
  We are a Catholic parish community forming disciples and our faith is woven into the fabric of our school.
  
  While our school takes its identity from the parish’s Catholic tradition and faith, we welcome students of all religious backgrounds.
  
  We celebrate the blessings of our talents in all that we do spiritually, academically, athletically and through the extracurricular activities that we offer.
  
  Our families, faculty, staff, and alumni know that Our Lady of the Lakes Catholic School is truly remarkable and unique. Our mission is inter-woven in every lesson, Mass, and situation we face. We are deliberate in all that we do to ensure that our students are disciples through Catholic Tradition, personal discipline and academic excellence.
  
  It is important for me to develop a strong working relationship with each family that expresses interest in Our Lady of the Lakes. Please contact me for more information, schedule a tour and/or shadow day at this amazing school in Waterford!
  
  God bless,
