Our Lady of Mount Carmel School has been serving children and families from Kindergarten through 8th grade since 1929. As one of the historical foundations of the Arthur Avenue community, the school welcomes students with varying degrees of learning abilities, as well as varying backgrounds. The goal at Our Lady of Mount Carmel School is to provide a Catholic environment that bolsters a rigorous academic curriculum, enabling students to develop pride and self-discipline, while fostering a Catholic mission of respecting one's self, one another, and all of God's creations.
As educators, our primary goal at Our Lady of Mount Carmel School is to encompass all aspects of human life: moral, spiritual, social, academic, and emotional. Through our daily contacts, we strive to help our children develop a more positive self-concept and to encourage them to their fullest potential. We attempt to instill in our students a respect for all of creation and a responsibility to nurture and preserve it.
Academically, Our Lady of Mount Carmel School follows the New York State Common Core Curriculum for Grades K-8th. Utilizing tried and true programs such as Eureka Math, Lectionary Tracking Software for ELA and Reading, as well as up-to-date textbooks and manipulatives for all grade levels, we feel confident that students will not only be prepared for State Standardized Assessments, but also for High School.
