Under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, rooted in Sacred Scripture and centered on the Eucharist, Our Lady of the Lake Catholic School embraces the values of Education, Faith, and Citizenship.
Students are required to complete standardized testing as provided by the state of Michigan. These tests help assess the academic knowledge and capabilities of students across the state. Though test scores do not reflect one’s character or abilities as a whole, Our Lady of the Lake prides itself on the support and preparation our faculty provides and the success our students achieve.
