    School Identity
“Why Catholic schools?” “Why Overbrook Catholic School?”

Because there’s something more at OCS.

More than a rigorous curriculum, more than an engaged community, more than a variety of afterschool activities for students, more than opportunities for success in High School, college, and beyond, at Overbrook Catholic School, there’s a focus on something more.

At Overbrook Catholic School, teachers, administrators, staff, and volunteers – both Dominican Sisters and lay men and women – are honored to partner with you as you raise your children in the Truth, wisdom, and love of God. Something more than what is offered at other private schools - an opportunity to encounter Jesus Christ.

Hear from our Sisters, parents, faculty, and students about the OCS difference.

    O most holy father, St. Dominic, who always showed yourself loving to all and never despised, wounded or offended anyone, obtain for me from our Savoir, the grace to know and correct my faults, and always be gentle and loving toward my neighbor, pardoning all who injure or offend me. Amen.

Education in the Dominican Tradition

"Eight centuries after the founding of the Order, we continue to exercise St. Dominic’s ideal of preaching. In our schools, our preaching takes the form of teaching. Daily lesson plans and activities engage and inform the minds and hearts of our students. Our vocation as educators, though, is not limited to helping students develop various skills. It first involves assisting them in acquiring knowledge of the Truth, which has its being in God. Students deepen their knowledge the Creator and His creation, especially the human person made in His image. Then, from the knowledge of these foundational truths, other branches of knowledge and learning are formed and deepened."

Consistent with our policy of diversity, we welcome non-Catholic students as well as students of all races, creeds, national and ethnic backgrounds.
