Notre Dame de Lourdes is a Middle States Association accredited,  Archdiocese of Philadelphia parochial school that seeks a balance of academic disciplines realized in a curriculum where social, personal, physical, and spiritual activities and programs interrelate and augment one another. Our purpose is to develop the whole, Catholic person, and priority is given to fostering each child in his/her best expression of self in academic terms.

Notre Dame de Lourdes Catholic School is registering students in preschool for 3 and 4-year-olds, Kindergarten, and Grades 1 to 8 for the current school year.

Our School admits students of any race, color, national or ethnic origin to all of the rights, privileges, programs and activities generally accorded or made available to its students. The School does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national or ethnic origin in the administration of its educational policies, its admission policy, or in any school-administered program.
 
The School endeavors to accommodate students with special needs, as the School’s resources and capabilities reasonably permit. The School reserves the right to decline admission or impose reasonable conditions or accept students on a probationary basis of attendance where indicted under the circumstances.
 
The School follows the Archdiocese of Philadelphia age requirements for admission. Children must be fully toilet-trained. The necessary forms and certificates for admission are:

• Birth Certificate.
• Social Security Card
• Baptismal Certificate (if not baptized at OLP/Notre Dame de Lourdes)
• A certificate of immunization that must be updated and available for confirmation.

Admission of Non-Catholics
Our school serves a variety of purposes, including the academic, social and physical development of the students. However, the primary purpose of our school is religious. We exist for the purpose of evangelization and catechesis, that is, the proclamation of the Gospel and formation of the entire school community of Faith. Our school offers a complete Catholic religious education program and makes every effort to develop the Faith in all the students so that they may live a full Christian life.
 
Non-Catholic students may be admitted to our school under the following conditions:

• The permission of the Pastor is obtained.
• Adequate facilities and space are available, without denying the admission of eligible Catholic students.
• The parents/guardians agree in writing to permit their child (ren) to attend Religion classes and Religious functions that are offered as part of the school program.
• The parents/guardians commit themselves in writing to accept and to promote the philosophy, goals, objectives, and regulations of our school.
• The parents/guardians agree in writing to assume responsibility for all financial obligations.
