OLGC to Hold Open House

will host an open house in the main school on Thursday, May 5 from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. for all families interested in taking a tour, especially families of prospective students in first through eighth grades.

The Early Childhood Center will host a Family Fun Day on Saturday, June 4, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. in conjunction with Moorestown Day. Teachers and parents will be available to give tours and provide information to families interested in enrolling in nursery, pre-kindergarten and kindergarten.

The school's full-day kindergarten is currently full for September 2011, with more than 20 children on a waiting list. However, there are some seats still available in nursery and pre-kindergarten. Those enrolled in pre-k this fall are guaranteed a seat in the 2012 kindergarten.

On May 5, the school's student council members will guide guests interested in seeing the upper grades in action during the school day. There will be an opportunity to meet with principal Jerome T. McGowan. Registration packets will be available.

If May 5 is not a convenient date, and you are interested in registering a student in the upper grades, call Lorraine Turowski to schedule a private appointment at 856-235-7885 or email school@olgcnj.org

OLGC offers academic programs and socialization for children in nursery school through eighth grade. Children receive a head start academically with full-day kindergarten in a secure and loving environment, and emphasis on the formation of Christian values.

OLGC’s certified teachers provide a rigorous academic curriculum, including math, computer education, science, integrated language arts, religion, social studies, Spanish language in K-8, physical education and art. OLGC students consistently score above national averages on standardized tests.

While public schools have cut sports, arts and music programs due to budget deficits, OLGC’s extra-curricular activities include music and band, student council, mission club, math club, computer club, choir, handbell choir, book club, drama club, basketball, field hockey, baseball, cheerleading, Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts.

We offer financial aid and are open to children of all faiths. You do not need to be a parishioner to attend our school.

At the Early Childhood Center, 23 W. Main St., our certified teachers provide a secure and loving learning environment for children ages 3, 4, and 5. Our very popular full-day kindergarten features religion, language arts, math, handwriting, journaling, art, library, physical education, Spanish and computer education.
