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.
