Our Lady of Lourdes School provides a solid foundation in the Catholic faith, fosters academic excellence, and educates children to be successful leaders who serve the world.
This mission statement was developed in 2008. During the 2016-2017 school year our Strategic Planning Committee evaluated our mission statement and determined that it should remain as written.
Spiritual development of the student is the primary purpose of Catholic education. Academic excellence is pursued in the context of this development. In every subject area teachers incorporate knowledge and skills that will enable students to be good citizens and be of service to their school, parish, and the larger community. The goals of academic development are inseparable from the development of spiritually healthy students who become responsible young adults.
Our values are mirrored in the goals of our programs and in their implementation. We continually endeavor to re-evaluate and renew our commitment to our faith and to a rigorous educational experience for all children in our care. We accept the challenge to reflect the mandate given to us by the Church to teach and live the Word of God.
All students in the school participate in service projects throughout the school year. Serve projects are implemented in connection with instruction in the Principles of Social Justice and in the Corporal Works of Mercy.
Our Lady of Lourdes School is a 2015 National Blue Ribbon School of Excellence, a 2017 and 2018 Best of Bethesda School, and accredited by AdvancED/Cognia.
