What Olgc School does

Our Lady of Good Counsel School (OLGC School) is a private Catholic parish preschool-through-grade-8 school located on a 25-acre campus in Vienna, Virginia, operating under the Catholic Diocese of Arlington. Founded in 1957 and accredited by VCEA since 1972, the school serves approximately 480 students with 57 faculty and staff, supported by instructional aides in grades K-4. It was awarded U.S. Department of Education Blue Ribbon School status in 2005 and grounded in the spirituality of St. Francis de Sales, integrating religious formation with academic instruction aligned to diocesan standards.

The school's core products comprise a play-based Preschool (PK3/PK4) program, a full K-5 elementary curriculum (Religion, Language Arts, Math, Science, Social Studies, Spanish, Music, Art, PE, Technology, Library, Science Lab), and a 6-8 middle school program with rotating subject-specialist teachers, Pre-Algebra through Geometry, a 1:1 iPad/Chromebook program, and co-curriculars such as National Junior Honor Society. The technology stack is built entirely on third-party K-12 edtech — Schoology (LMS), PowerSchool (SIS), NWEA MAP (adaptive testing), IXL (math/language arts), Follett Destiny (library), ClassDojo (communication), and Blackbaud Tuition Management (billing) — with no proprietary platform. Reported academic outcomes include NWEA MAP Reading percentiles of 93-99%, Math 81-99%, and Language Arts 97-98% across grades K-7 (Winter 2026).

OLGC School operates a tuition-driven nonprofit business model: K-8 tuition ranges from $11,140 (active parishioner, first child) to $15,290 (non-parishioner, first child), with sibling discounts scaling to $10,150 for the third or more child; preschool is $1,250 per month or $12,500 annually; ancillary fees include $105 annual supply, $500 technology fee (grades 6-8), $105 sacramental fee, and optional ECAP after-school programming. Customer segments are families with preschool, elementary, or middle-school-age children within the Diocese of Arlington catchment. The go-to-market is direct, via an InfoSnap online application, a $100 non-refundable application fee, an annual Fall Open House, and parish-driven word-of-mouth. Revenue is supplemented by annual giving through the Wildcat Fund, Day of Giving, Golf Classic, and PTO fundraising.
