Early Education
OCA offers a half-day, five day a week Early Education preschool program for three-year-olds & a program for four-year-olds through VPK. Our goal is to nurture and encourage every child's positive self-image in an atmosphere of love and caring by focusing on essential childhood developmental areas through a domain-based environment. This practice, encompassed in a Christian setting, provides the backdrop for an early education curriculum that offers opportunities for each child to grow in the awareness of the love of God as we partner with parents. Our fully accredited preschool program offers a low student to teacher ratio and small classes where children can explore, develop, and interact with other children in a fun, structured setting.



Elementary
Our elementary school program anticipates big changes in the lives of our "cubs." Our students come to Kindergarten inexperienced, but with limitless potential. Later, when they graduate from fifth grade, our goal is to produce more self-sufficient adolescents capable of navigating middle school. During these formative years at OCA, we want to partner with parents to further the development of these students spiritually, intellectually, physically, emotionally, and socially as they begin to discover who the Lord wants them to be.

Secondary
The years students spend in the secondary division is a pivotal time in their lives. This period of life is full of significant changes as they transition from children to young adults focusing on preparing for adulthood. We at OCA want to guide our students through these years as smoothly as possible; we deeply desire to partner with parents to undertake this walk together. The process that begins in middle school culminates at graduation, with our students stepping out into the world as well-adjusted individuals prepared to live the life to which the Lord calls them.
