College Preparatory

One of our top education goals is to help our students get into the university of their choice. 95% of our students graduate, of which 98% go on to higher education. We know that once our students get to college, they continue to strengthen the voice they developed at OLT. Our alumnae continue to tell us that graduating from an all girls high school gave them an advantage in the college admissions process, and that every dollar invested in a Catholic education was given back ten-fold in college financial aid or scholarships. Our graduates have been accepted to the following colleges and universities:

Loyola University
DePaul University
University of Illinois at Chicago
Northern Illinois University
Northeastern Illinois University
St. Xavier University

Honors Classes
We offer a flexible honors track to all qualified students, and AP English is being developed for the 2007-2008 school year. Our small classes and leadership opportunities challenge our students, and give them the skills and experience to succeed after high school. We do require more credits to graduate (24), as well as four years of both math and science.

College Counseling
College counseling services are available to juniors and seniors. An OLT alumna, counselor Maria Ochoa grew up in Little Village and graduated from University of Illinois at Chicago with a focus on math and science. Fluent in English and Spanish, Miss Ochoa works closely with each student and her family in researching colleges and job opportunities and creating a path to her future. Our alumnae continue to tell us that graduating from an all girls high school gave them an advantage in the college admissions process, and that every dollar invested in a Catholic education was given back ten-fold in college financial aid or scholarships.
