Our Lady of Lourdes is proud to report:
We have the smallest student
to teacher ratio in Brevard!
We believe that by keeping classes small, we can deliver more individualized instruction to each student thereby ensuring his/her academic success.
It is in that light that we have a class size cap of 28 in grades K-8, 20 in Pre-K4 and 15 in Pre-K 3.Mission
