Our Lady of Lourdes School achieves 5 year Accreditation!

Our School at Our Lady of Lourdes has been reaccredited with very high marks! The accreditation team was at the School last week interviewing staff, students, parents, and teachers. They thoroughly examined every area of the school and gave us very high marks! Here is a summary:

  • OLL School re-accredited with some of the highest marks for elementary schools in Brevard!!
  • Achieved STREAM certification and we are the first Catholic School to receive this certification in Brevard County
  • STREAM stands for Science, Technology, Religion, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics
  • This certification confirms that our school offers a well-rounded education for our students
  • The report praised the School for having buildings and grounds well-maintained despite the buildings being 65 years old
  • The team mentioned the great relationship between the School and Parish and said the parish support was reflected in the high marks

We would like to thank you so much for partnering with us with your children. Without that partnership none of this is possible and we are so grateful.
