The L.I.O.N. Standard

At Oasis Christian Academy, we believe that who we are matters as much as what we learn.
The L.I.O.N. Standard calls every student, teacher, and leader to pursue excellence in character and faith — to live with love, integrity, ownership, and growth in all things.

Love God. Love Others.
At the heart of all we do is Jesus’ greatest commandment:
“‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’
This is the first and greatest commandment.
And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’”
— Matthew 22:37–39 (NIV)
We believe that a Christ-centered education begins with loving God completely and extends to loving others genuinely. Our students are encouraged to live out their faith through kindness, service, and integrity — reflecting the love of Christ in every classroom, hallway, and community interaction.

Inspire Integrity
Integrity is doing what is right — even when no one is watching.
“Whoever walks in integrity walks securely,
but whoever takes crooked paths will be found out.”
— Proverbs 10:9 (NIV)
At Oasis Christian Academy, we believe true integrity comes from a heart aligned with God’s truth. We encourage students to be honest, responsible, and trustworthy in their words and actions. By modeling Christlike character, we inspire one another to live with consistency and conviction — choosing what is right because it honors God.

Own Your Faith
Faith is personal — it’s not just something we learn about, but something we live out.
“Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity.”
— 1 Timothy 4:12 (NIV)
We encourage students to develop a genuine and growing relationship with Jesus Christ. Owning your faith means standing firm in what you believe, asking questions, and allowing God’s Word to shape your decisions. Students are challenged to live boldly for Christ — not because someone else tells them to, but because they know Him personally and choose to follow Him wholeheartedly.

Nurture Growth
Growth is a journey — in knowledge, character, and faith.
“But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and forever! Amen.”
— 2 Peter 3:18 (NIV)
At Oasis Christian Academy, we foster an environment where students can flourish academically, spiritually, and personally. Nurturing growth means encouraging curiosity, perseverance, and a heart for learning while trusting God to guide each step of the journey. Every lesson, challenge, and experience is an opportunity to grow closer to God and to become the person He created you to be.
