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...

Can anyone with kids at OLV comment on the instructional style(s)? Is it mostly teacher-centered as in sit/absorb/repeat with heavy use of textbooks/technology and worksheets or do teachers include some student-centered activities with encouragement of higher order thinking - creativity, critical thinking and inquiry? 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. My first impression is no, but I thought I would check here...
