Our Lady of Mt.
Carmel School
Founded 1956, Carmel,
Indiana
Diocese of Lafayette
Mission Statement: Our Lady of Mt. Carmel School, a Christ-centered
community, provides excellence in education to meet the needs of the whole
child. Our Lady of Mt. Carmel School is a
Kindergarten through Eighth Grade Elementary/Middle School located
adjacent to Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Church in Carmel, Indiana. For nearly
half a century, Our Lady of Mt. Carmel School has provided challenging
academics in a strong faith-based community.
From its beginning in a very rural setting in central
Indiana, Our Lady of Mt. Carmel School has experienced continuous growth
in enrollment and in the physical facility. The school operates at
capacity enrollment and has waiting lists for most grades. Suburban
sprawl has changed the face of the community and the parish over the last
50 years.
Our Lady of Mt. Carmel faculty and staff are
committed to the belief that students are entitled to a quality education
in a caring atmosphere with Christian family values. They hold high
standards of academic excellence in which gospel values are integrated in
everyday activities. School personnel address each child’s spiritual,
academic, social, emotional, and physical well-being.
In the fall
of 2005, Our Lady of Mt. Carmel welcomed the Dominican Sisters of St.
Cecilia to the parish and the community. The Sisters join the school
staff and parents in providing a secure and challenging environment where
Jesus and His teachings are at the heart of everyday learning.
