Our Lady of Mount Carmel School is a place of learning where staff and children are respected for their cultural diversity, accepted as individuals, and nurtured with loving care.
​
We encourage our students to make decisions and accept responsibilities that will develop them into well-rounded, self-confident, and responsible members of the world community who are grounded in the values of Jesus. While recognizing the individual differences with the learning process, we endeavor to teach academic skills, to inspire creativity, and to measure excellence through varied instruction and assessment. We are striving with the compassion of the Gospels to respect the varied cultures within and beyond the community.
