SHADOW DAYS
At Our Lady of Charity Catholic School, we invite prospective parents and their children to experience our vibrant learning environment through our "Shadow Days." On these special days, parents can arrange for their child to visit for a half day or longer, depending on their grade level. Future OLC students will be paired with a current student in the same grade, allowing them to immerse themselves in daily activities and get a true feel for our community.
Come see firsthand what makes Our Lady of Charity a nurturing and inspiring place!
Call Ms.Claudia Garcia for more information: (708) 652-0262 ext. 103.
