ALL of the offerings of Our Lady of Fatima Catholic Academy's Music and Performing Arts Department have been reviewed by a pediatrician and will be held to the most stringent standards of Covid safety, often going beyond the recommendations of the American Academy of Pediatrics. OLFCA puts the health and well-being of its students first, and is committed to guiding children to safely and creatively express themselves.
The plan was prepared by the school’s COVID Safety Committee using the guidelines published by the Connecticut State Department of Education entitled, “Adapt, Advance, Achieve: Connecticut’s Plan to Learn and Grow Together” as well as guidance provided by the Office of the Superintendent of the Diocese of Bridgeport in the document entitled, “We Face It Together: Faith, Academics, Community and Empowerment.”

For $50, your family can sign up for a visit. Santa will arrive outside your house in his Big Red Truck, and will linger for a socially distanced "Meet & Greet" with your children! He will be happy to pose for a photo, so long as everyone maintains a distance of 6 feet and wears a mask, and will bestow upon each child a special North Pole candy cane from his gloved hand! He will leave kids with a sense of wonder, and parents with one more year of their children’s innocence to treasure.

PROVIDING THE FOUNDATION FOR TOMORROW’S LEADERS
A PERSONALIZED APPROACH TO LEARNING
Personalized Learning allows students to learn in an environment that taps their unique needs and strengths in order to engage, inspire and empower them to reach their highest potential.
While many teachers already personalize learning and differentiate instruction, this initiative provides the tools to take what they already do to the next level:
- Technology: one of several tools to enhance curriculum and encourage student creativity, critical thinking, collaboration and communication. Fatima utilizes Edmentum Exact Pathaiding in individualized learning.
- “Station-Rotation”: incorporates teacher directed instruction to small groups based on a student’s needs and student collaboration on a teacher assigned project, to create and communicate mastery of skills and knowledge.
- Fatima continues to offer its STREAM curriculum enhanced by Innovation Labs tools and Maker Space.
Smaller Class sizes with a Personalized Approach to learning allow Fatima students to continue to achieve excellence beyond standardized testing norms.
My family will forever be grateful to Our Lady of Fatima for the priceless education that my children received. While academically speaking the education was extremely competitive with other schools in the area in math, reading, & science skills, OLF taught our kids the most valuable and priceless of lessons: those of faith, respect, and compassion. What they learn at OLF is gradual, their day seemingly no different than other kids from other schools, but as a parent, you see it in the little things: from them being excited about a story discussed in religion class that day, to discovering they know the entire Star Spangled Banner at a sports game, to them asking if they could donate half of their birthday money to charity. All it takes is a grain of sand.... OLF is just that. Paula Restrepo Former Parent
