OLL offers many options for preschool-aged children: Up to five days or through lunch and enrichment until 2:30 p.m. dismissal or aftercare until 6:00 p.m. Our Lady of the Lake School also offers a full-day kindergarten. Children who will be five years old by October 1, 2011 can be registered for kindergarten during this period. The primary grades are self-contained, leading to increased levels of independent thinking in preparation for the departmental programs of the upper grades.

School busing is available for West Orange students and busing reimbursement is available for students from other towns. The school offers before and after-care programs and a variety of extracurricular activities. Computer rooms, internet access, science lab, foreign language instruction, music, art, wellness and physical education programs enhance the curriculum.
