The Oratory Academy is a private Catholic elementary and junior high school based on the thinking and spirituality of St. Phillip Neri, the prophet of joy. The Academy’s mission is twofold: to create a learning environment that exemplifies the best in dual language education and to nurture a bi-cultural heritage for pre-kindergarten through eighth grade students to better prepare students for life in a global economy.

"Este es un pequeño recuerdito de nuestra celebración del Día de Acción de Grácias en nuestro salón. ¡La pasamos fenomenal! Comimos pavo, elotitos, puré de papa, cuernitos, pay de calabaza y otras cosas muy ricas. Dimos grácias por todas las cosas buenas que Dios hace por nosotros y convivimos amenamente alumnos y maestras."
Maestras Sra. A. Elizondo y Srita. S. Vera
