Confidence. Leadership. Friendship. SAINT SAVIOUR HIGH SCHOOL: A Day in the Life
As you enter 588 6th Street, Park Slope, Brooklyn, our assistant principal greets you.At your locker, you chat with friends while organizing for morning classes. If it isyour birthday, your locker will be decorated in your favorite colors. Before
homeroom, some students will be working in our Greenhouse classroom on her scienceresearch project. Down in the Art Room students are busily working on projects class-and club-related. On the third floor, the Gospel Choir or instrumental ensemble might bepracticing for a liturgy or concert. In guidance, seniors are sharing college acceptancesand scholarship awards. All this activity and the day hasn’t even officially begun.And what a day it will be, with English classes where you explore the nuances of poetry;
with math and science classes that teach you about the universe as manifest in the lawsof physics; with history classes that will open a door to the past as a way tounderstanding the present; religion classes discovering Faith in the Media or with foreignlanguage classes where you discover your love of language. In between, there will, ofcourse, be breaks: for lunch, where you can share stories and jokes over a plate ofMarco’s delicious cheese fries; for P.E., where you can blow off steam in an intense gameof volleyball; for study halls, where you can return to the greenhouse room or library tocomplete an article for the newspaper or research Ireland or Australia, our nextinternational destinations.

A Sample of Our Lady of Victory School’s Testimonials…“We have seen over the years how our children have grown academically andspiritually. We know our children are not only getting a solid education preparingthem for the future, but are in a Catholic, faith-based environment where they areflourishing. Yes, it is a sacrifice for us to send our children to OLV School. But Ican honestly say it is one we don't mind at all! That in itself is a lesson we try toinstill in our children. I feel sending our children to OLV School, not as a sacrifice,but as an investment in their educational and spiritual future. It is a decision myhusband and I have never regretted.”
“Making a commitment to Catholic school education was a “no brainer” for myhusband and me. Our three children have benefited not only from the rigorouseducation and high standards set by the school, but from the values instilled uponthem each and every day. For some, these values are just an afterthought in life…kindness, generosity, empathy, service to others. At OLV, they are a priority andcreate the foundation that is Catholic education. We are proud to be members ofthe OLV school community and feel that our children will carry the lessons theylearned in this special place in their hearts and minds always.”
