At Our Lady of Refuge Catholic School, we are more than a school—we are a close-knit family! Since 1953, we have provided a welcoming community where students are known, valued, and encouraged to reach their full potential. Our dedicated, experienced teachers build lasting relationships with students and families, creating a sense of stability, belonging, and trust. With small class sizes and individualized attention, we help each child grow academically, socially, and spiritually. Faith is at the heart of everything we do. Through daily prayer, Mass, and Catholic values, we nurture students who lead with compassion, respect, and integrity. Learning extends beyond the classroom through enrichment opportunities such as sports, spirit squad, chess, theater, STREAM, and coding. These activities allow students to discover their talents, build confidence, and develop new interests. We take pride in our strong academics, supportive teachers, lifelong friendships, and welcoming school community. We believe every child deserves to feel seen, supported, and inspired to succeed. At OLR, faith and learning come together to prepare students for a bright future. We welcome families from all backgrounds to become part of our community. Once a Bear, always a Bear! Come discover what makes Our Lady of Refuge Catholic School a special place to learn, grow, and belong.
