"Overbrook Catholic School's combination of stellar academics and a nurturing family environment are unmatched. We could not have made a better choice."

The school is accredited by and a member of the National Catholic Education Association.
Overbrook Catholic School’s curriculum challenges children to think critically and master skills in all subject areas. The academic program follows a spiral curriculum which provides constant reinforcement of those skills and allows the students to develop a deeper understanding of the concepts presented. Then, from the knowledge of these foundational truths, other branches of knowledge and learning are formed and deepened.
Overbrook Catholic School admits students of any race, color, national and ethnic origin who demonstrate academic and personal potential and a desire to be part of the faith-based mission of the school to all rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school. It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, ethnicity, or national origin in administration of its educational policies, admissions policies, scholarship and loan programs, and athletic and other school-administered programs.
