Our Lady of Angels School is a Catholic school in the Diocese of Cleveland, Ohio, with classes from 3 and 4 year preschool children through grade eight. As a faith-based school we operate under the guidelines of the diocese while following the state of Ohio standards for education and infuse Christian, Catholic values into all lessons and subject areas. All teachers at Our Lady of Angels School are fully licensed by the state of Ohio. We hold full accreditation through the Ohio Catholic Schools Accreditation Association. We participate in the Cleveland Scholarship Program.
The enrollment for the 23-24 school year in grades preschool through grade eight is 282. Our staff consists of 27 full-time teachers, 2 part-time teachers, 3 classroom aides, an administrative assistant, and a fully licensed principal. In addition, our auxiliary staff includes a speech/language therapist, two intervention specialists, a school psychologist, a school counselor, a Title I/Basic Skills teacher, a registered nurse three days a week, and a fiscal liaison for the Cleveland Metropolitan School District. All employees who have contact with students undergo thorough screening, including background checks through the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation & Identification (BCI&I).
