"An excellent place where children are taught how to be productive adults in society. A child can learn to read and write anywhere, but they can't learn the value of the heart. Lourdes Academy is a place where the teachers, administration, and staff care. Each child is nurtured and loved. I make and will continue to make monetary sacrifices to send my daughter to Lourdes. My eldest child just graduated this past June. My youngest daughter is still at the school and loves it. She is thriving. There is no place in Daytona that I would send my child. I believe in Lourdes!!!!!"

"Lourdes Academy is a truly unique school. I have had four children attending Catholic schools in Florida and this school offers things that none of the others did -- not just academics, but forming character. The children start their day in church with prayer and encouragement from our principal. Our pastor is committed to teaching them how to take their faith out into the world and make a difference in the community. One way he does this is by making it possible for disadvantaged children to attend this school because he, and our parishioners who fund the scholarships, believe that education changes lives. The teachers work very hard to meet the varied needs of their students. In addition, the children are learning that to be Catholic is to be joyful. They have a program called "We Celebrate What We Believe." All kinds of feast days are celebrated and the children look forward to the skits, processions, interesting food, and arts and crafts that are part of this program. Not only does it teach our Catholic students to love their rich heritage, it gives our non-Catholic students a positive image of our faith to share with the community."

"My children have been at Lourdes Academy going on 5 years. I have a child going into 7th and 4th. Yes, a few years ago were challenging. However, since Mr. O'Dell has taken over has prinicpal the moral is wonderful! The teachers are happy and my children look forward to going to school. Mr. O'Dell holds the children and the teachers accountable. As in every school, there will always be kid drama. I have always been able to talk openly to the teachers and the principal, Mr. O'Dell. One of my children has had discipline issues. Theses teachers and the school circled around my child and have worked to nuture and keep my child on the right track. I don't know that this would happen any place else. My child has grown and is growing into a bright, respectful teenager. My children are A/B some C students. I don't always look at the grades as I look at the entire picture. Lourdes has the entire picture."

"I am a former student at our lady of lourdes (lourdes academy), most of the children there are rude and mean. I was bullied there for no reason, i have no problems nor am i mean. i was called fat and ugly. The principal never did a thing but talk to these kids, I'm now happy with public school. DON'T SEND YOUR KID THERE!"

"Lourdes Academy is a great school! My children have been at Lourdes Academy for the past 7 years and this year has been the best yet! With the new adminstration, the energy is positive and the students are focused on respect, reponsibility and right choices.I see in each of my children gaining loving and caring attitudes with well rounded decision making skills to excel academically and with daily life lessons choices. The wide selection of extra circular activities allows each of my children to choose the right activity for them. We have experienced volleyball, basketball, chorus, band, sign language classes, and spiritual ministries (alter serving, lectors, ushers, and music ministry). My children are touched daily is a faith-filled and loving principal, teachers and staff. I am thankful when I leave them in the morning for school I know in the afternoon that they will only become better students and Christians."
