Since Our Lady of Grace School reopened its doors in 2000, we have seen incredible growth in our school.  We have grown from a small school of 86 students to a thriving preschool – grade 8 school with over 450 students.

At the beginning, we were only able to accept a small number of families who could not pay full tuition.  Today, through Grace Gala and the donations from our donors, we are able to offer a Catholic education to over 50 families who could not otherwise afford our school.  As a church, called to share our faith, we hope to continue to make our school affordable for all.

Our Lady of Grace School offers an outstanding education for our students.  We continue to excel, which is evident in our ISTEP scores and our exemplary rating from the Indiana Department of Education.  Our graduates are flourishing in area high schools, and tell us that they were extremely well prepared to succeed in public and Catholic high school.  They continue to maintain close ties to our school and parish community, and have an incredibly close circle of friends that they developed at Our Lady of Grace Catholic School.

We recognize that there are many requests for your charitable dollar.  We want you to know that participation at any level makes a difference! 

The school accepts gifts of cash, securities, and most major credit cards. This can be done in one of two ways. Use the payment form below to make an online payment for our SOAR Fund or

On behalf of the students who will benefit from your donation, thank you.

Our SOAR Fund Drive focuses on Our Lady of Grace Catholic School's two paramount financial commitments: tuition assistance and teacher compensation.

When you make a gift to the SOAR Fund, you provide the opportunity for all our students to learn and fully engage in an authentically Catholic environment. Focused on Teaching Catholic Tradition, Developing Mind, Body, and Spirit, and Serving Christ and His Church, OLGCS prepares students for a life-long commitment to faith, learning, leadership, and service. Your gift provides tuition assistance for 46% of our students that otherwise would not have been able to attend Our Lady of Grace Catholic School.

Additionally, Our Lady of Grace Catholic School stives to attract and retain some of the most dynamic and impressive teachers from around the state. Our Teacher Incentivies are provided to help bridge the gap between public school and Catholic school compensation and to offer teachers the opportunity for growth and advancement.

Our Lady of Grace Catholic School has partnered with the Institute for Quality Education (IQE) as our official Scholarship Granting Organization (SGO). An SGO is a state-designated 501(c)(3) that provides financial needs-based scholarships to students enrolled in non-public schools.
By giving a gift through IQE and designating it to Our Lady of Grace Catholic School, you will be providing needs-based scholarships to eligible incoming and current OLGCS students. As a donor, not only are you providing much needed scholarships, but you will also qualify for a 50% INDIANA STATE TAX CREDIT. Additionally, the total is still eligible for a federal tax deduction. This program is not only available to individuals, but to companies as well.
