Our Lady of Light Schoolhouse is committed to forming students who are intellectually prepared, morally grounded, and rooted in their faith.

Through a highly personalized and thoughtfully designed educational experience, we seek to cultivate a love of learning, strength of character, and a joyful pursuit of truth—preparing students to grow into confident, capable, and Christ-like individuals.

Our Lady of Light Schoolhouse serves students ages 5–7 through a uniquely small, cohort-based model of education.

Students begin together in a founding cohort and continue through 8th grade, building long-term friendships, continuity, and a strong sense of belonging. Mrs. Smith remains with the cohort over multiple years, providing consistency in academic, social, and spiritual development.

This educational practice, known as looping, allows students to learn within a trusted community while benefiting from a teacher who knows their strengths, challenges, interests, and learning style.

Daily enrollment is intentionally limited to a maximum of 8 students, creating a deeply personalized environment where each child is known, guided, and taught at their individual level.

We understand that every family's educational journey is unique.

Unlike most private schools, Our Lady of Light Schoolhouse offers flexible enrollment options ranging from one to four days per week.

Whether families are seeking a full-time private school experience, homeschool enrichment, or a gentle transition into a classroom setting, students become part of our small learning community and receive individualized instruction within a faith-centered environment.

Available enrollment options include:

• 1 Day Per Week

• 2 Days Per Week

• 3 Days Per Week

• 4 Days Per Week (Full Program)

All students benefit from our small cohort model, individualized instruction, and maximum daily enrollment of just 8 students.

Our program is intentionally designed around a four-day academic week (Monday–Thursday).

This structure provides focused, high-quality instruction while supporting a balanced weekly rhythm for students and families. Each day is purposefully planned to maximize learning through individualized instruction, direct teaching, hands-on experiences, and meaningful engagement with core subjects.

Fridays remain open for family time, enrichment opportunities, appointments, and flexible scheduling while students continue to receive a strong and complete academic education during the school week.

Instruction at Our Lady of Light Schoolhouse is both structured and responsive.

Students receive most of their academic instruction through direct one-on-one and small-group teaching with Mrs. Smith. Reading, writing, and mathematics are taught at each child's individual level rather than strictly according to age or grade.

Rooted in both classical principles and Montessori-inspired practice, our program combines teacher-led instruction with carefully selected hands-on, multi-sensory learning experiences. Lessons are intentionally designed to foster confidence, independence, curiosity, and a deep understanding of academic concepts.

Ongoing assessment allows instruction to be adjusted continually, providing targeted support when needed and opportunities for advancement when students are ready.

Our educational philosophy is grounded in mastery-based learning.

Students master essential skills before progressing to new concepts, ensuring strong foundations and lasting understanding. Rather than moving through content according to a fixed timeline, instruction is tailored to each student's readiness and level of mastery.

This individualized approach allows students to receive support where needed while also providing opportunities to advance beyond traditional grade-level expectations.

Our curriculum is informed by the classical tradition of the Trivium—the three-part path of learning that guides students from foundational knowledge to thoughtful reasoning and effective communication.

In the elementary years, students build strong foundations through structured learning, memorization, narration, and rich exposure to language, literature, history, science, mathematics, and the arts. As students mature, they are increasingly challenged to think critically, make meaningful connections, and express their ideas clearly and confidently.

Students also receive early exposure to classical elements such as Latin roots, cursive writing, quality literature, and historical study.

Faith is woven naturally throughout the school day rather than taught as an isolated subject.

Through prayer, Bible stories, memory verses, songs, discussions, and hands-on activities, students grow in both knowledge and virtue. We seek to nurture the intellectual, social-emotional, and spiritual development of each child while helping them cultivate a personal relationship with God.

Our Christian worldview provides the foundation that unites all areas of learning and gives purpose to our academic work.

Our Lady of Light Schoolhouse is designed as a partnership with families who value strong academics, meaningful relationships, faith formation, and individualized learning.

We believe children thrive when home and school work together toward shared goals, creating a consistent and supportive environment in which students can flourish.
