Our Lady of Victory School has always had a very welcoming atmosphere. As you enter into the building the school is bright and warm. The office staff greets you and often a child will hold a door for you. The teaching staff will stop and say hello and you feel as if you are entering a place where children are cherished and valued. That is important to us as parents who want to know that our child is in a nurturing, safe environment. Our child is growing spiritually, emotionally, academically and socially in this wonderful environment. We feel confident that the staff at our school is committed to providing the education that we desire for her.
"A compassionate community committed to academic excellence and spiritual development, parents choose to send their children to Victory because of the school’s dedication to providing an exemplary education in a nurturing environment where all children shine. Victory teachers are committed to differentiating instruction and collaborating to ensure that ALL students learn. Students excel in all curricular areas, consistently scoring in the top ten percent nationally on standardized tests, earning recognition in academic competitions, and receiving scholarships to high school. A highly qualified intervention staff supports student learning. Victory’s teachers are recognized for their professional expertise and have been chosen for professional development opportunities such as a fellowship in Kenya and participation in Xavier University’s Initiative for Catholic Schools and for awards such as the Mathematics Teacher of the Year. The heart of Victory’s mission is empowering students to live their faith. Victory’s Ambassador’s Program gives students opportunities to actively participate in making the world a better place, while broadening their awareness of community and global issues. With a commitment to provide a well-rounded education, activities such as Drama, Art Camp, chess club, NJHS, poetry residencies, Student Council, Math Counts , environmental club, an annual school musical and many more enrich students’ learning.

"In 1842 the first class entered the doors of Our Lady of Victory School. These first ten children had no idea that they would become the beginning a tradition of academic excellence rooted in a faith-filled environment that has been Victory’s mission for over 167 years. The current school campus includes a newly-renovated science lab, two technology labs, a library, a gym/athletic center, and a convocation center which is home to the fine arts classrooms, including a stage and flexible auditorium space. Victory is fully accredited by the Ohio Catholic School Accrediting Association. Many families have been members of the school and parish for generations, and parents are actively involved. With this comes a deep loyalty to the continuation of Victory’s mission. Resources are generously allocated to meet the needs of the students both academically and financially. A well-loved extended day program serves Victory families. Over the past few years, Victory has earned a reputation for their excellent fine arts program, increased the number of enrichment opportunities and elective classes, started an Honors Algebra class, expanded its technology program, and introduced a foreign language program."
The mission of Our Lady of Victory School is to nurture Catholic values through prayer, learning, and service; to foster academic, social, physical, creative, and spiritual growth; and to building community through responsible caring members who model the Gospel message.
