Academics Overview

"Our job is to prepare your children for heaven. If they make it to Harvard, that's a bonus." - Thomas Halfaker, Former Principal

At Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic School, we provide students with a rigorous yet attainable curriculum while instilling Catholic values. The goal of our curriculum is for the students to have the skills to be successful, motivated, and ready for the next stage of their lives. The curriculum meets the standards designated by the Archdiocese of Miami and the State of Florida, and provides experiences and opportunities which are the best fit for the development and learning of all students.

Our students learn to work with others, to respect others, and solve problems independently. There is an emphasis to meet the expected standards in all subject areas while differentiating instruction to meet the needs of all students. We have learning centers that allow the students to be differentiated by learning abilities and interests.
