But within the GATE program, it's state of the art.

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy son graduated from OLG school and our experience with the teachers and Sister Susana (principal) couldn't have been better. They truly care for the well being of the children, physically, educationally and spiritually. Sister Susana is a blessing to all the families and does everything she can to accommodate and meet the needs of everyone.Parent Review10y ago - Bethel Christian
