Our Lady of the Valley Regional School

What Our Lady of the Valley Regional School does

Our Lady of the Valley Regional School (OLV) is a private, nonprofit Catholic school operating under the auspices of the Diocese of Worcester and located at 75 Mendon Street in Uxbridge, Massachusetts. Founded in 1964 as St. Mary's Elementary School and reorganized as a regional school following parish consolidations, OLV serves students from preschool (PreK 3) through Grade 8, drawing primarily from families in the Blackstone Valley region. The school is governed by a Consultative Board and accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges.

OLV's core academic offerings are organized into three tiers — Little Angels Preschool, Elementary School (K-4), and the Middle School Academy (Grades 5-8) — supported by a STEAM curriculum, a dedicated Maker Space, and a 1:1 Chromebook program covering Grades 3-8. The Middle School Academy is housed in the G.R.A.C.E. Center, a 2022 facility expansion with fiber connectivity, Smart TVs, and climate-controlled classrooms. Beyond core academics, the school operates before- and after-school care (7:00 AM–5:30 PM), Summer Activity Camps (Camp Invention, Math Mania), and a broad extracurricular program including athletics, National Junior Honor Society, arts, and academic clubs.

OLV's revenue model is tuition-driven (annual or monthly via FACTS), supplemented by the OLV Blessings Annual Appeal fundraising campaign and financial assistance administered through the FACTS Grant and Aid Assessment for income-eligible families. The go-to-market is direct-to-consumer enrollment, with applications processed via Google Forms, priority given to siblings and alumni children, and a multi-channel outreach approach spanning the school website, social media, open houses, shadow days, and parish partnerships. The organization has roughly 20 faculty and staff and operates with a 17:1 student-teacher ratio.
