Our Lady of Lourdes School is staffed by the Sisters of Our Lady of Mercy, Mercedarian Friars, and lay teachers. Lourdes is a “community” Catholic school. Our primary goal is to offer affordable, quality education to the children living in Overbrook and Wynnefield communities.

Lourdes has been in existence since 1908. Today, we continue to educate children of all ethnic and religious backgrounds.

The purpose of Our Lady of Lourdes School is to educate the whole child spiritually, intellectually, emotionally, and physically. Our aim is to integrate Catholic Christian values with elementary school curriculum so as to foster full participation of our school community into the life and mission of the parish and universal Church. We participate in this mission by worshipping God, creating and nurturing our Christian community, growing in faith and holiness, and serving those in need especially the poor. We prepare students to succeed in a culturally diverse society respecting the dignity of others. We equip students with the life skills necessary to seek out opportunities and embrace the future. We recognize the role of parents as primary educators.
