Empowering Children To Reach Their God-Given Potential

NEW! A one year St. Jude Scholarship will reduce tuition for all our new and returning students in 2023-24!  Click for details.

Our Mother of Sorrows/St. Ignatius of Loyola Catholic School in West Philadelphia nurtures the intellectual, emotional, and spiritual growth of students in Kindergarten through 8th grade.

Families of all faiths choose OMSSI for a

high-quality, faith-based education

in a safe and loving environment.

As one of the 14 Independence Mission Schools,

we teach values and morals

as part of an academically rigorous curriculum.

Our private school is affordable because

every family receives financial aid

that reduces the cost of tuition.
