We love Our Lady of Destiny catholic school. This our family's first year at OLD, and we are very pleased. From the first time we visited the school the principal, Mrs. Chorazy, was welcoming and supportive. The school has a family-oriented atmosphere and all the parents are helpful and welcoming to new families. Academically, the school is one of the finest in Des Plaines. My son is getting a very good education, and he (in Kindergarten) is academically ahead of his peers in other schools in the area. I love that he is getting an education in the Catholic faith at school and that throughout the day his academics are supported by Catholic values and traditions. The students are taught to be polite, respectful, and honest citizens as well as academically successful. In short, OLD is an academically superior school with family values. What we get back from the school is more than worth the extra money we pay for Catholic school- if a top-notch education and lifelong morals and values for your children aren't worth the extra money, what is?
