Mission Statement
Rooted in the teachings of Christ, Our Lady of Fatima Academy forms faith-filled students who use their God-given gifts to serve others, seek justice, and live with joy, integrity, and compassion.
Vision
Our Lady of Fatima Academy is a dynamic 21st Century Learning Community where Catholic faith, global collaboration and sustained innovation produce excellence in education.
Philosophy
At Our Lady of Fatima Academy, we believe that parents are the first and most important teachers in a child’s life. Working in partnership, parents and educators help students grow in knowledge, faith, and character.
We are committed to nurturing a personal relationship with God, rooted in Gospel values and sustained through the Sacraments. Every child is uniquely gifted, and it is our calling to help each one reach their full potential—spiritually, academically, and personally.
Education is more than gaining knowledge; it is about forming compassionate, thoughtful
individuals who can think critically, solve problems, and serve others with love and purpose.
Through acts of service, students learn to live out their faith and become instruments of peace
and justice.
As a Christ-centered community, we support one another in lifelong growth and challenge each
other to become leaders in the world and builders of God’s Kingdom.
OLF Student Learning Expectations
