Anthony Campbell

Head of School

Mr. Campbell has been a Christian school educator for 30 years. He earned his M.Ed. degree from the University of South Florida and his BS degree from Palm Beach Atlantic University. Prior to coming to Oasis Christian Academy, he has served as the Head of School, an Assistant Principal, the Director of Instructional Technology, a Computer Science teacher, a middle school History, Science, and Math teacher, an Elementary School Coordinator, and worked as an Instructional Coach on a math research study for Southern Methodist University.

Mr. Campbell is the husband of Dr. Laurie O. Campbell, a professor at the University of Central Florida, and the father to Stephen Campbell, a deputy with the Hillsboro County Sheriff's Department.

Mr. Campbell’s servant’s heart, humility, intellect, integrity, and confidence are a powerful combination. At his core, Mr. Campbell is a teacher who is committed to academic excellence and the student experience. He recognizes that a student is more than a GPA and the importance spirituality plays in the development of the whole child. He seeks to bring out the best in others by investing heartily in their development and helping them realize their full potential, recognizing that strong academics, blended with a heart for Christ, will make OCA students ready to be leaders in whatever arena God places them. Simply put, Mr. Campbell is a servant leader with the vision and skillset to lead OCA into the future confidently.
