Welcome to Our Saviour School— a faith-based learning environment that focuses on developing your child's potential by promoting spiritual, intellectual, and physical growth, with the ultimate goal of preparing your child to lead and serve.

There's been lots of excitement at OSS as the Long Range Strategic Plan committees have been diligently implementing solutions to identified challenges in order to ensure future success.

We had winning academic and athletic seasons in 2010, with the promise of more to come in 2011. Our students' musical talents shone, evidenced by their success in choir and band contests, as well as a spectacular spring musical. And, our students proved their desire to serve by taking part in school, parish, and community events.

If you think Our Saviour School would be a good fit for your child, explore our website to learn more, talk with the parents of our 250 students, and then make an appointment for a tour.
We'd love to get to know you!
