Testimonials

“The community is also close knit, supportive of one another, and we have made so many friends with other parents. We are grateful for the teachers, staff, and community at Our Lady of Hope and wholeheartedly recommend it to families seeking a truly Catholic education.” (Matthew S., 2026)

“Our Lady of Hope has been a wonderful place for our children to learn and grow. We love that their Catholic faith is part of their everyday experience at school, and that they are encouraged to be kind, thoughtful, and caring toward others. The school is run with care, and the small class sizes make it feel like our children are truly known. I’m grateful for the community we’ve found here.” (Elizabeth C., 2026)

“Our Lady of Hope has been a Godsend for our young family. The environment allows our children to thrive. Their faith is on fire! Socially they are healthy and involved and flourishing! Academically our children are growing and we are thrilled with the rigor our children are putting into learning about the world. Faculty is incredible. Teachers are incredible. Facilities are incredible.
We cannot imagine our family being anywhere else.” (OLOH Parent, 2025)

“I can’t say enough good things about OLOH. We have been so fortunate to watch our kids thrive academically, socially and spiritually in their very capable hands. In the two+ years our kids have been there, they have grown to love reading for fun, a huge boost for their confidence, science (from cool experiments like participating in science fairs, and watching chicks hatch), history (hard to beat 4th Grade Colonial Day where they dress up in Colonial outfits and fire off canons), religion (dressing up like Saints, weekly Mass, etc), not to mention music, art, math, and sports. Their teachers not only master but love their jobs and their students, often looking out for their “kids” long after their students leave their classrooms. The faculty makes learning so much fun that their students sometimes don’t recognize they are doing it. The other families are incredible too, often going out of their way to help one another.” (OLOH Parent, 2025)

“We attended the grandparents day event in the fall. The staff members we talked to were knowledgeable and kind. Very impressed with the environment, the caliber of students and quality education this school is providing!” (OLOH Grandparent, 2025)

“We moved to Sterling, VA due to job relocations and wanted our children to continue their Catholic education. After a lot of research, we decided to enroll our boys in Our Lady of Hope because of its strong commitment to the Catholic faith and its outstanding academic reputation. Moving every few years is never easy on children, but our sons quickly acclimated to the warm and welcoming environment. Our Lady of Hope has truly become a home away from home, with friendships that will last a lifetime. The education they are receiving is exceptional, and the sense of family here is unmatched. We are incredibly grateful for OLOH and would encourage other military families to consider enrolling their children here.” (OLOH Military Family)

“OLOH offers an unbeatable mix of challenging academics (a blue ribbon school with a 98% pass rate in reading and 95% in math), incredibly dedicated and caring teachers and staff who make learning fun and challenging and who invest in their students long after they leave their classrooms, as well as families and students that take care of one another. Most importantly, the OLOH staff and students live out their Faith in everything they do, a wonderful example of Christian leadership for our kids to grow up with. As one of the teachers said, “OLOH is not just a school, but a community,” and this is a warm, welcoming community that our family is thankful to have found as our second home.” (OLOH Parent, 2023)

“For the past 8 years, OLOH hasn’t only been our kids’ school, it’s been our extended family. The teachers and staff are very caring and supportive and its small size lends itself to creating special bonds among students, staff, and families. Most importantly, it weaves the tenets of the Catholic faith throughout the curriculum and daily activities in a genuine effort to form faithful, compassionate, well-rounded and virtuous members of society. I love the school’s continuous drive to improve and its receptivity to feedback/input. OLOH is an incredible blessing for our family.” (OLOH Parent, 2023, niche.com)
