The teachers don’t just teach, they teach the child; they are interested in the individual student.
~ OLPH School Parent

 

Every parent knows that no two children are alike.  The same can be said for how differently two children can learn.  OLPH School is sensitive to this uniqueness.  Teachers view each child as an individual, aware of each student's individuality while encouraging students to work constructively as a school community.

OLPH School has made tremendous strides to better serve its student community. It is in this spirit that the Marian Program at OLPH School was created. The program was developed to help students with diagnosed language-based learning differences and math difficulties reach their potential and have a positive and successful school experience.

Through participation in the Johns Hopkins Program for Talented Youth, eligible students are able to expand their educational horizons while gaining access to unprecedented enrichment opportunities.

The Accelerated Reader Program, a student-lead reading comprehension program speaks to the school's commitment to individual learning styles as well. Students choose what they independently read, with the help of their parents, teachers, and fellow students.  Using their Lexile scores, teacher observation, and the Star Reading Assessment, students are paired with books within their developmental reading comfort zone. With a library of thousands of titles from which to choose, within many genres, students are given the freedom to select the perfect books for them.
