Admission decisions are based on a holistic review of each student's academic record, standardized test scores, and testing.

While we have academic standards, we also consider individual circumstances and growth potential.

Our Lady of Prompt Succor School welcomes students of all faith traditions. Our curriculum emphasizes Catholic values and teachings, and all students participate in religious education and school Masses as part of our community. We respect the faith backgrounds of our families and work collaboratively with parents to support each student's spiritual development.

We follow rigorous curriculums for strong academics. We use all Tier 3 curriculums (HMH Into Reading, Eureka Math, Amplify), which are vetted by the state as being the best to support students' mastery of standards.  Our elementary program emphasizes foundational skills in reading, writing, and mathematics, while offering a comprehensive curriculum aligned with state standards. We incorporate STEM education, the arts, and social-emotional learning throughout all grade levels.

Our average class size is 18 students starting in 2nd grade, which allows our teachers to provide personalized attention and support to each learner. PreSchool - Kindergarten all have a classroom teacher and an aide.  In Preschool and average of 10 students in a class.  PreK and Kindergarten, have an average size of 18 with 2 adults.  Smaller class sizes enable us to differentiate instruction and foster meaningful relationships between students and teachers. 

Yes, we are committed to supporting the diverse learning needs of our students. We offer the Learning Lab. In the Learning Lab, students can come before school to work on homework struggles from the previous night, students are pulled throughout the day for additional support, and testing accommodations are given in the Learning Lab.  The Learning Lab is also used to make up tests when students are absent. 

Students in grades 2nd-6th participate in Terra Nova standardized testing, and STAR testing.  These assessments help us measure student progress and inform our instructional practices. Results are shared with families every 9 weeks. 

Religious education is central to our mission. Students participate in formal religion classes, daily prayer, weekly Mass, and Catholic traditions. Our goal and motto is, “Jesus, when others see me, may they recognize you.”

Our Catholic faith is woven throughout our school community. Each day begins with prayer, Kindergarten-6th grade students attend Mass weekly on Thursday, and our PAW PRINTS curriculum teaches the character traits Positive, Accountable, Worthy, Patient, Respectful, Inspiring, Nice, Temperate, and Saintly. These characteristics are a daily way of life and are introduced through experiential lessons throughout the year during FUN FRIDAY

While our school is rooted in Catholic tradition, we welcome families of all faiths. We respect each family's beliefs and work collaboratively to support each student's spiritual development.  Our goal is to create a community where all students feel valued.

At Our Lady of Prompt Succor, we strive to create an environment where students learn to be disciples of Christ. Classroom management is established by the teacher within each individual classroom and communicated to the students and parents.
