Vandenberg Elementary School

Great school with a strong parent organization. There is even a really cool Dads Club for all the dads that want to help support the school.

We pulled our kids out of Birmingham public schools during Covid. We looked at many of the catholic schools in the area and ultimately chose OLQM due to its welcoming environment, small class sizes, excellent standardized test scores and because we were so impressed with the principal and teachers that we met during out tours. Let me tell you, it has been the very BEST decision we have made as parents in regards to our children's education! The teachers, principal and leadership are overall outstanding! The environment is welcoming, humble, encouraging, supportive and safe. Our kids made friends very quickly and we have met so many nice families. In terms of academics, both of our children are thriving. Our oldest daughter is in CYO basketball and loves it. All in all, we can't say enough good things about OLQM, and will plan to keep our kiddos here through 8th grade. Would highly recommend to anyone in the area considering private education for their child!

Crescent academy is a great school and has some of the best teachers!
