Parent Testimonial

Great school! They teach executive functioning at a young age (e.g., daily planner, test prep, etc.). The student body is also very kind and free of cliques because of the small size.

Our Lady of the Angels is more than just a school!  It’s truly a family and a community!


After 4 years teaching preschool & pre-kindergarten, achieving the “Best Preschool of Central Mass” I excitedly moved up to Kindergarten and will never look back! Our Lady of the Angels is amazing! Our strong faith will always lead our students forward in life.  Our teachers are truly invested in education, providing a challenging hands-on curriculum,meeting the needs of each child. Small class sizes allow for lower student to teacher ratios and leveled learning giving children more confidence to ask questions and engage in group activities…
