We feel that sending our children to a Catholic School is in partnership with the values we are teaching our children at home. It is important to our family that our children learn about their faith, both in words and actions in order to become good, faith-filled adults. At Queen of Angels, everyone you meet makes you feel confident that they have your child’s best interest at heart. We are constantly impressed with the enthusiasm of the administration, faculty and staff. Our children continue to be challenged academically on a daily basis. The level of detail and quality of the work our children bring home and are doing in the classroom makes us feel that they are at the best place they could be. They are also being challenged to become the best people they can be. Birthday blessings, prayer buddies, and the opportunities the children have to interact with the students at Our Lady of Confidence are some examples of how our children know that they are part of a whole school community working towards the goal of becoming great individuals. At Back to School night this year, our son’s teacher commented that she told the children that they were now a family…a family that supported one another and encouraged one another to make their class a success. We are so excited to see how our children will grow each year both spiritually and academically at Queen of Angels.

I am a parent of three students at Queen of Angels Regional Catholic School. I couldn’t be more pleased with the social, academic, emotional, and religious development offered to the children within! My children are challenged daily with the current curriculum trends in education. The teachers nurture the students toward excellence while implementing critical thinking skills. The facility is updated with the latest technological advancements as well. I feel my children are happy, well prepared and are receiving a strong foundation enabling them to pursue a future at any leading high school in the area.

With the announcement of the merger of St. David and Our Lady Help of Christians Catholic Schools, our commitment to Catholic education remained constant. What a gift from God to have the best of both schools joining together to provide a faith-filled, rigorous academic program with modern technology and dedicated, well qualified teachers. Guided by the Sister Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, supportive pastors, devoted parents, passionate teachers and enthusiastic children, Queen of Angels Regional Catholic School was formed. As parents, and products of Catholic Schools, we chose to send our children to Queen of Angels, the ideal complement to our Catholic home. This setting offers our children the opportunity to grow spiritually, academically, and socially in a disciplined, respectful, and encouraging environment. In addition, students are given unique opportunities to participate in challenging academic competitions, award winning extracurricular activities and service projects both within the school and throughout the community. Both of our daughters visit with children from Our Lady of Confidence School and enjoy attending mass, having lunch and library time with them. Queen of Angels is providing a solid foundation, rooted in Catholic values, for our children to succeed today and excel tomorrow.

We both had the privilege of attending Catholic school and wanted to give our children the same opportunity. It’s amazing how the OLHC and St. David’s families have come together, along with the teachers and administration and created such a wonderful new school. In addition to the core educational curriculum, our children are receiving instruction in Spanish, computers, art, music and Religious Enrichment. The teachers are extremely dedicated and encourage critical thinking and independence within the classrooms. Our Catholic faith is very important to our family. It’s comforting to know that strong moral values are being reinforced on a daily basis by the wonderful teachers and Immaculate Heart of Mary Sisters at Queen of Angels Regional Catholic School. Our children are excited to go to school each day and look forward to interacting with their friends, both old and new.

We chose Catholic education because we wanted our children’s faith to be more than just going to Mass on Sundays; we wanted them to learn in an environment where values would be instilled and practiced as part of their daily routine. We chose Saint David’s simply because it was our parish school. We stay with Saint David’s and now Queen of Angels because of what we find to be a truly quality education – in all areas. Beyond strong academics and forward-thinking faculty, the presence of the IHM Sisters and the regular interaction with the students of Our Lady of Confidence make this a unique environment where we continually see our children growing into responsible individuals that recognize and practice Christian and social values.

-We decided to send our boys to Queen of Angels because we wanted them to have Catholic values and morals in every aspect of their lives. We feel that Catholic school will set the foundation of strong values and faith not only in religious education classes, but throughout the curriculum and other activities in the QOA community. QOA offers a balanced curriculum from technology to Spanish. Also being mindful of their educational futures – we feel they would be fully prepared for high school/any future education. There is a sense of unity at QOA. It is a smaller, close-knit community and we thought our entire family would benefit here than in a larger setting. What made the transition (from public school) even easier for us was that we already knew families from CYO and UM sports. Everyone has been very supportive and welcoming. Also, all three boys attend the same school and it’s right around the corner from our house.
