My son has had the benefit of attending OLPA for the past two years. As a family, we were attracted to the small class sizes, more one-on-one academic attention for our son should he need it, and family-like atmosphere found at Pillar. The oldest students looked out for the younger ones at recess, and no one was excluded from games in the school yard. Monthly Mass and daily morning prayer in the chapel at the outset of the day were extremely attractive to our family! Highly recommend this school to all looking for authentic Catholic education for their children!

Teaching at OLPA has bolstered my faith. Being in a faith-filled environment with daily prayer, strong fellowship, and academic professionalism has strengthened me. Building a strong foundation for our youth and ourselves is of utmost importance.

Monica Vandenberg, Parent and Teacher

As a grad of OLPA, I can say there is a place for all talents at this school: artistic, athletic, musical, and academic. The staff of Pillar can further all these talents under an umbrella of faith. I enjoyed the close relationships with both students and staff.

Chris V., Alumni

When we were married and when our children were baptized we promised that we would “Raise our children according to the teachings of the Catholic Church and the laws of Christ.”

Our Lady of the Pillar Academy plays a vital role in helping us as parents to carry out these important vows, which we will be held accountable for on judgement day.

Our children have been attending OLPA for four years and we are extremely happy with the atmosphere and staff of OLPA.

Chris and Barb Vander Vloet, Parents

Our Lady of the Pillar Academy is a beautifully traditional independent Catholic school. The day begins in the chapel where the staff and students all gather for morning prayers.The atmosphere is one of respect and joy shared by all who have the privilege of being part of it. One of our first visits to OLPA was near All Saints Day and one of the bulletin boards in the hallway was decorated with the names of all the students and a picture of their respective patron saints, placing as examples for the children the true heroes of our faith. Our two youngest children attended OLPA and our youngest will be in grade 8 this September and we are very grateful to God for the devout and caring teachers and staff at OLPA who not only teach the academic subjects necessary for education but also encourage them to grow in the physical and spiritual virtues necessary for the salvation of their eternal souls. Thank you!!!
