Testimonials

Our Lady of Sorrows school provides a faith-based, Christ-centered education for our children.  We are confident that they are receiving a high-quality education because of the commitment of the teachers and staff.  Our Lady of Sorrows provides a good Catholic education in a safe environment, allowing our children to grow spiritually, socially, morally, intellectually and emotionally, which has proven invaluable as they grow into strong caring young people. We are very happy with our experience at Our Lady of Sorrows. Our children have enjoyed each and every teacher they have had and we look forward to the next few years at Our Lady of Sorrows.

We chose to transfer our kids to OLS after both of our children were struggling in public school. We thought that the smaller class sizes would benefit our children so the teacher can really work with them through their strengths and weaknesses. We switched them mid year and I regret every day not switching them sooner! OLS has truly been a blessing for our family. Everyone welcomed my children with open arms and they truly became a part of the OLS family. I used to worry about my children dropping them off at school, but now that they are at OLS I never worry! Everyone looks and cares for one another.

The curriculum continues to blow me away every day. My children are going above and beyond what I ever thought they could at their age and I am so thankful for their amazing teachers! The staff strives to offer the best combination of religion and academic education for the children. Which not only enriches their minds, but also their souls making them the kind of people this world needs now and in the future.

We feel blessed to be a part of this school and community. We will be forever grateful for this experience. Our first year at OLS has been truly rewarding and we look forward to many more years to come!

The Howard Family

We transferred our children to Our Lady of Sorrows mostly for our daughter when she was entering into the fifth grade, but because we also had a third grader, we wanted them to be both at the same school/same academic calendar. Looking back, OLS has been a very positive and wonderful choice for our family. Our Lady of Sorrows School embraces faith, and a Christian curriculum is taught across all subjects. There are small class sizes, loving and supportive teachers and staff, and kindness is evident. As a parent, when I have wanted to be involved in my child’s education it was welcomed and encouraged. I have served outside the classroom as a volunteer in many capacities: in the lunchroom, visits to the Nursing Home, organizing fundraising events and at sporting events. A family type atmosphere is encouraged throughout all grades and older students assist younger students for some all-school events, library trips and at worship (Mass). We have been very pleased with not only the academic standards but with the general caring atmosphere at the school. Students are encouraged to grow, incidences of behavior are minimal and are addressed immediately. Most importantly, reconciliation and forgiveness is honored.

It is with great support that I highly recommend Our Lady of Sorrows School.

I love how OLS is more than just a school, it is a family. Having attended OLS myself I made some amazing friends that I still am in contact with. The staff are amazing individuals that genuinely care about our children. The fundamentals that are taught speak for themselves as all individuals come out a better person.

We believe Our Lady of Sorrows Catholic School has the best education in our community. The school offers a small class size in a safe environment that enforces discipline, academic studies, and religion. The school has a well rounded education by offering classes such as Science, English, Math, Music, Art, Physical Education, Reading, Computers, History, and Religion studies. The school does not allow children to be left behind academically and ensures all kids learn the basics of each class. They offer special education assistance through the Ladysmith school district. The goal is to ensure each child can meet their academic potential. OLS fosters an environment that boosts self esteem so that children can realize their potential. Teachers enforce proper mannerisms which helps students understand how they affect those around them.
​
The school is highly involved with the local community activities such as the Ladysmith homecoming parade, visiting fire and police departments, and local business such as the public library, pumpkin patch, and apple orchards. The students get to learn the importance of community service by visiting nursing homes, raising money for humane societies, and being apart of memorial services for police department, etc. The students get to experience patriotic pride and unity by saying, “The Pledge Allegiance” every morning. Finally, the best part our school is when they teach children how to start a relationship with God through prayer, sacraments, and mass. This will help them to cope and endure all the uncertainty that life has to offer.

What I like about Our Lady of Sorrows Catholic School is that we get to praise God and have fun. We don’t have to be afraid to make friends and the teachers are very nice.

I like how the classes aren’t that big, and how we know every single person in the school so it’s like we are a family.

Marika, Grade 8

Hello! When deciding to send my daughter to OLS I remember visiting several times. I needed to get a feel for the environment and the staff. Even though it took me several visits I knew that it felt like a family for us. When you raise an only child you want them to have people around them that make up for not having siblings. With smaller class sizes I felt that the staff could get to know the students more personally and meet their needs better. As a single mom I have also met so many kind and amazing parents. I consider them friends and family. They have given me parenting support and guidance without even knowing it! I also feel well informed with e-mails etc. from Mrs. Stewart and Mrs. Gerber. That communication keeps OLS stronger. When I asked my daughter her thoughts about OLS she made several positive comments. Having come from larger classrooms she especially likes only one room per grade. She loves the science and art projects. The food is amazing. Everyone helps each other. The bigger students spend time with the younger students. She feels safe at OLS. As parents we need to know the small details carried out by OLS make big impacts on our students! Being surrounded by God’s word keeps our students protected. Thank you to everyone involved in educating our OLS students. I made a great decision!

Sincerely, Karen Duvall
