Mission

Our Mother of Consolation Parish School is a Catholic elementary school (Pre K through Eighth Grade) serving families in Chestnut Hill and the surrounding areas in Northwest Philadelphia and nearby suburbs.

With equal focus on Catholic Values and academic excellence, OMC is a strong, vibrant, and thriving school characterized by small class sizes, exceptional parent volunteerism, rich and balanced diversity, superb administration and faculty, and a genuinely warm and friendly family atmosphere.

Points Of Pride

Our Code of Courtesy reinforces teaching the whole child how to be a responsible and caring person in addition to a good student. Our students attend and succeed at any of the numerous private, archdiocesan, and public schools they choose to attend.

A partial list of those schools includes Mount S. Joseph's Academy, Merion Mercy Academy, LaSalle College High School, St. Joseph's Prep, Archbishop Carroll High School, Roman Catholic High School, Friends Central, Central High School, CAPA, and Girls High School.

OMC is a Blue Ribbon School and Middle States Accredited. OMC is rated as a School of Distinguished Instruction. Reading and Math support is offered to students who need additional support. Athletic Teams consistently reach playoffs and post-season tournaments; a list of extracurricular activities for all grade levels. Our students also partner with our parish to provide service opportunities in the community-at-large.

Now in our 160th year serving Chestnut Hill and surrounding neighborhoods, OMC is proud of all it has accomplished. For more information, to look at a calendar of events, or to see our school video, visit our website at www.omcparish.com or our Facebook page at: https://www.facebook.com/OMCSTRONG

While we conduct classes at Chestnut Hill College, entrance to OMC is closely surveilled by security personnel.

After we return to our rebuilt school building, we will use a system of 18 security cameras to monitor the outside campus, inside hallways, and all doors to the outside, which will be locked at all times and controlled in the main office.

How is the rating for School Incidents calculated? This rating represents the reportable incident count per 100 students. Reported suspensions and expulsions are not factored into the rating for School Incidents. Learn more about GPS ratings methodology here.

Reported Incidents	Reported Suspensions	Reported Expulsions

This data reflects the total number of incidents, suspensions, and expulsions per 100 students reported by the school to the Pennsylvania Department of Education. To view a reportable incident report for a particular public school, see the Pennsylvania Safe Schools Reports. Data for private schools are derived from similar reports submitted directly to GreatPhillySchools.
