Why Families Choose Our Lady of Refuge

Guided by Faith, Inspired by Excellence

At Our Lady of Refuge Catholic School, we provide more than just an education-we nurture faith, character, and academic excellence in a safe and supportive community. With small class sizes, dedicated teachers, and a commitment to Catholic values, we partner with families to help every child grow spiritually, socially, and academically. Do not just take our word for it, here is what our parents have to say…
