Our Mother of Perpetual Help School in Ephrata, PA offers an academically challenging and faith-filled Catholic education for children of Our Mother of Perpetual Help, St. James and Our Lady of Lourdes parishes. Early education is offered for Preschool (age 3, full day, Monday through Friday) and Pre-Kindergarten (age 4, full day, Monday through Friday) along with full day kindergarten through eighth grades. The Redemptorist Fathers are present daily within the school to interact and spiritually guide our children. The students celebrate Holy Mass weekly as a community and have daily school-wide prayer.  The latest technology can be found in classrooms such as SMART Boards, iPads, and chrome books. The school offers one class per grade, promoting a low student to teacher ratio.  Extracurricular activities are provided such as choir, instrumental instruction, clubs and CYO sports. Affordable after school care is offered and busing is provided by eight local school districts. 

 

At OMPH School, we strive for academic excellence by establishing high standards and maintaining a skilled teaching staff. Our children are encouraged to do challenging work and rise to meet that expectation. Early in the education process, our teachers emphasize good intellectual habits such as clarity, accuracy, thoroughness, and organization, while fostering creativity and a love of beauty through the fine arts.

 

We encourage our children to follow our mantra of Reverence, Respect, and Responsibility: reverence for God, respect for others, and responsibility for self.
