Loving Jesus. Loving learning. Loving others. It’s what we love about OLPS.
For the Chapman family, our commitment to OLPS revolves around two significant contributions to our children’s upbringing: Christ and community.
We value our Catholic Christian faith, and resolved early on to do anything within our power to ensure our children would be raised with a strong sense of faith, of spirituality, of Biblical truth. While private school tuition can be a sacrifice, we determined long ago that there is no price too high for providing our children with a learning environment where a Christ was unashamedly the central focus. OLPS has met and exceeded our expectations for providing a Christ-centered academic environment for our children.
Because we want our children to become Christian men and women who are contributing members of our society, we chose to place our children in a community of like-minded parents. Our OLPS community of parents and children is tight-knit, supportive, and loving. Kids go to church together, they attend school together, they play sports together, they go to (a lot of) parties together. Essentially, these children create their own supportive little culture. Because of this frequent interaction, the parents, by extension, form close relationships as well. Parents become friends because the kids are friends. And it’s fun. We love knowing we have a whole community of people as a support system, as well as people we sincerely enjoy spending time with...people we would never have met had we not been thrown together repeatedly because of OLPS functions. We are all working together toward the same end: to get these children to Heaven and to get them to adulthood as productive members of society. And we are not alone...we are journeying together.
Essentially, each family’s journey is different. While academics are important to us (and are certainly an asset at OLPS), our family focuses on the bigger picture for our kids: who do we want them to be and who do we want them to associate with. For us, we want them to be upstanding men and women, with a commitment to Christ, solid values, and a strong social network to help keep them on a good path in life. OLPS gives us that opportunity daily.
Loving Jesus. Loving learning. Loving others. It’s what we love about OLPS.
