| Can anyone with kids at OLV comment on the instructional style(s)?

I know it is a traditional school with reportedly excellent academics but I am just wondering that that really means...I am trying to figure out if the school would be a good fit for an active, inquisitive child.

| I don't have a child there, but a good friend does and is doing great. She loves all that the school has to offer. For my active child, when I toured, I didn't think it would be a fit. Seemed too structured, and orderly, not that there's anything wrong with that. It reminded me of an English Girls Convent school. I'll have my friend chime in later... |
