Middle School
“Catholic education aims not only to communicate facts but also to transmit a coherent, comprehensive vision of life, in the conviction that the truths contained in that vision liberate students in the most profound meaning of human freedom.”
-Pope Saint John Paul II

Mr. Ben Domnarski, Seventh Grade Humanities
Ben Domnarski brings to OLMC the hallmarks of a classical education: integration of academics, athletics, and the arts. He grew up (and learned to ride) on a horse-boarding farm in Massachusetts, and later worked as a farmhand in New Hampshire. Long hikes and camping trips with friends and family nourished his love of the outdoors. Competing at the varsity level for soccer and track & field honed his skills as an individual athlete and a teammate. A high-school trip to Germany, Hungary, and the Czech Republic opened his eyes to the rich history, art, and architecture of the Church.
Mr. Domnarski received a bachelor’s degree from Thomas Aquinas College in 2023. He spent thousands of hours engaged in Socratic discussions over literature, philosophy, and theology, which kindled his passion for learning through conversation about primary sources. When not studying, he could be found on the TAC stage acting in Shakespeare’s As You Like It and Macbeth, or cooking (and cleaning up after) huge meals for classmates in a college kitchen. Before joining the OLMC faculty, he taught history, mathematics, science, grammar and composition, literature, and Latin to students in grades 5 through 7 at St. Michael’s Catholic School in Brattleboro, Vermont. He also coached St. Michael’s high school soccer team and led adventures in cross-country skiing.
Mr. Domnarski loves sketching, hiking, and swing dancing, and looks forward to sharing his hobbies with colleagues and students. He was drawn to OLMC by what he describes as the “zeal, faith, and charity of the community—coupled with the school’s true conception of a Catholic liberal arts education: forming the human soul to know, love, and serve Jesus Christ for time and eternity.”

Mrs. Rosalee Bolleia, Latin I and MS Division Head
Mrs. Bolleia teaches middle school Latin and English. She is excited to share with her students the wonderful worlds that the Classics make available and that she herself traversed as a child. By encountering beautiful Literature, Mrs. Bolleia believes as John of Salisbury writes: “The soul is purged of its defects and is revivified even in adversity by a mysterious and serene cheerfulness.”
Classically homeschooled with her nine siblings, Mrs. Bolleia received her B.A. in Classics and Early Christian Literature from Ave Maria University in Florida. After graduating from college, Mrs. Bolleia spent a year traveling and teaching, both in the United States and abroad in China. She is currently completing a Master’s degree in Classical Education from the University of Dallas. When not furiously writing papers and preparing lessons, Mrs. Bolleia enjoys hikes, swing dances, travel, a good book and a cup of coffee, and the occasional thrilling adventure such as sky diving or scuba diving.
