Oakland Christian School

This is our first year at Oakland Christian, and we are very happy with our choice! We were searching for a structured, Christian education with high academic achievement in a supportive and loving environment, and that's exactly what we found. The teachers and staff go above and beyond to support both our children with their individual learning styles. The community has been very welcoming. We were nervous to make the move for both our girls during middle school, but Oakland Christian made it easy. We also really love all the extracurricular activities (sports and clubs) to foster a very well-rounded student experience.

Oakland Christian School has been an incredible blessing to our family. The school's Christ-centered focus is evident in everything they do, from academics to chapel services and daily interactions. Faith isn't just a subject-it's the foundation, helping students grow spiritually while building strong character. Beyond that, the education at OCS is outstanding. The teachers are caring and dedicated, and the small class sizes ensure personalized attention. My son is thriving here-he has grown in both his faith and academics and genuinely looks forward to going to school each day. We are so grateful for a school that nurtures both the heart and the mind. If you're looking for a place where your child will be supported spiritually and academically, I highly recommend Oakland Christian School!

We moved to Michigan from California three years ago. We did our research and knew we wanted our three elementary-age children to continue attending a Christian school. We immediately felt led to enroll them at Oakland Christian School after meeting the elementary principal and the admissions staff. After a tour of the campus and classrooms, we knew this school would be the perfect fit. The staff and teachers are loving and supportive, and their love of Christ is evident in everything they do. The children started at OCS halfway through the school year and felt welcomed and at home right away. There is a great sense of community within the school, and the children are thriving. We highly recommend OCS.

Oakland Christian School has been an amazing experience for both me and my son. As a kindergarten student this year, he has felt right at home from the start, and I can't picture him being anywhere else. The level of community and support at Oakland is truly special—something I haven't encountered at other schools.

The teachers and staff go above and beyond here for students and families. We joined partway through the year and they bent over backwards for our family. My son is doing great here and we feel so at-home!

My family recently moved to Auburn Hills from Georgia. After moving, we knew we wanted a school that was Christian-based and something our kids could connect and engage in in a good and healthy way that you just don't get with public schools. Oakland was it! Our kids shadowed and felt right at home; they love their teachers; the students have been super welcoming; and the staff worked with us every step of the way to get our kids enrolled and setup after moving from GA half way through the year. We're grateful for Oakland Christian! God's been great!

This is a very caring and supportive place. My middle schooler is doing great in his first year here.

This is our first year at OCS—my son is in middle school. The class sizes are smaller, the teachers are caring and much more involved, the academics are challenging, and my son is thriving. I would recommend this school to all who are considering a private, Christian-based education for their child/children. I love this mission statement and the values that this school promotes. God is at the forefront of all academic and social learning, and the goal is to raise smart, strong Christian young adults. Their is sometimes a waiting list for enrollment, and that speaks to the strong statistics of OCS academic achievements and status as well as the caring/safe environment. Administration, educators and support staff are the best.

A Truly Exceptional Christ-Centered EducationOakland Christian School stands out as a top-tier private school that blends academic excellence with a strong biblical foundation. The school is deeply committed to fostering both intellectual and spiritual growth, ensuring students receive a well-rounded education that prepares them for the future.The teachers and staff are not only knowledgeable but also genuinely invested in each student's success. They create a nurturing yet academically challenging environment where students are encouraged to think critically, grow in their faith, and develop strong leadership skills. The curriculum is well-structured, integrating Christian principles into all subjects while maintaining high academic standards.One of the things that sets OCS apart is its close-knit, supportive community. Families, teachers, and students work together to create an atmosphere of encouragement, respect, and shared values. Beyond the classroom, the school offers fantastic opportunities in athletics, the arts, and service projects, all designed to shape well-rounded individuals with a heart for making a positive impact.For parents seeking a private school that truly prioritizes faith, character, and academic success, Oakland Christian is an outstanding choice. It's more than just a school-it's a place where students are inspired to grow, lead, and live out their faith with confidence. Highly recommended!

My daughter is a senior and started at OCS as a freshman. The families and students are a great community, and there is lots of opportunity for involvement for students and parents. Smaller in size but definitely not in offerings, including academic and extracurricular. The teachers and staff are supportive, caring and helpful well beyond even the classroom. And Christian values are truly at the center of all things here. It has been a great 4 years here, and I have no doubt my daughter is ready for the next step after graduation.

I have had my only child at Oakland Christian School for one year now. We have noticed a huge difference in him since he started. We were previous public school parents looking for something different in this very scary world we live in. My son within the first week had a compete change in attitude and a different outlook on life. OCS does an amazing job growing children in all aspects of life. The academics are excellent and the teaching staff and administrators are top-notch. We could not be happier with our first year.

My son transferred to OCS halfway through his junior year. It was a smooth transition. The teachers and staff were very helpful and friendly. Love the sports programs. Love the variety of classes offered. My son easily made new friends.

Oakland Christian has been a great all around school for my daughter. We decided to try a new school for the last 3 years of high school. I wish we would have found the school sooner. My daughter has adapted better than I was hoping she would. Her GPA has improved dramatically, and her attitude toward school is night & day. She's more motivated than ever, with a positivity that wasn't seen before. The staff has been great and very easy to communicate/work with. There are pro's and cons in everything; however, the "cons" of Oakland Christian are not even worth mentioning due to the overall greatness the school has been for my daughter.

Oakland Christian School has been, and continues to be, a wonderful experience for our family! When our daughter started going there in 2nd grade we immediately felt like part of a family. The teachers, administration, and staff are one and all exceptional. You can tell through their words and actions that they truly care for the whole family, and put God to the forefront. Our daughter has never wanted to go to any other school since her first day at OCS!

My daughter has really enjoyed her three years of school here. We are very pleased with the teachers and their academia. Last year several students scored 100% on the SAT math and many students ranked very high in science and robotics. The children seem happy here. The school has nice sports offerings and clubs that keep students and families connected socially. My daughter has made friends with some really nice kids and we have really enjoyed how lovely the families are to have taken her on vacations up north and even to Dallas TX! We are grateful that our daughter writes and receives letters of encouragement from her Christian friends about following Christ.

This is our daughter`s 2nd year at Oakland Christian and currently her freshmen year. It has been a great transition for her with caring and responsive teachers, a welcoming environment, and Christ-centered rigorous academics with opportunities for sports, music, and arts.

Our child has been at OCS for 4 years. It is reassuring to know that our kids will grow and learn in a Christ-centered environment. All the staff is kind, compassionate, and understanding! The school and staff are fantastic at communicating! That was very important to us as parents. The Spanish immersion program is nothing but amazing! Our child comes home excited to tell us all the new things she has learned! OCS does a great job at working with the children`s strengths, from the Arts, and STEM to sports for all ages. We feel blessed to have found such a great school for our children to thrive in!

We started at OCS three years ago when the world was a very uncertain place. Our children have been allowed to grow in their faith, be challenged by academics, and have been taught by some of the most caring teachers. They truly go above & beyond to meet the student's needs. OCS has many opportunities to make families feel welcome & involved. The sense of community is priceless. God truly blessed us when he led us to OCS the elementary, middle school,, and high school are top-notch.

OCS provides a wonderful opportunity for young people to learn in a Bible-based environment. The teachers, the faculty, and the students are all around a joy! I highly recommend OCS to any family looking for a solid environment for their children to grow into good Christian adults.

My two daughters have been at OCS since kindergarten and they are now entering the second and fourth grades! We have been so pleased with our OCS experience! The Spanish Immersion program is an amazing opportunity for our girls to be immersed in the Spanish language. We do not speak Spanish in our home (minus a little bit of Spanish that I had in high school), but we have enjoyed our daughters becoming well-versed in the language. They are developing a native-sounding speaking ability and are able to read, write, and converse in Spanish at such young ages! In addition, all of the special teachers are AMAZING! They love what they do and are helping our girls thrive with their creative sides: art, tech (STEM), music, PE, and library. Lastly, we love the families of OCS. Everyone is so kind and we could not be in a better school! If you have not checked it out, you should!

We love our school and the leadership. We also love the diversity and especially that it offers Spanish Immersion. Our daughter enjoyed her first year and we can`t wait for another amazing year.

OCS has been such a blessing to our family. Three years ago our daughter began Preschool at OCS, at that time we had only intended to stay for two years. Within a few short months, we knew that OCS is where we wanted our children to be for good. OCS is special in what it offers, Christian teaching, high academic standards, amazing teachers, and a welcoming community like no other. We are thankful God led us to OCS and look forward to many more years there!

After bringing my 2 children to OCS in 2020, we quickly noticed the difference in our children and their school experience. No longer just a number they have been able to regain everything plus what they lost when their education stagnated. From the teachers to the admin, OCS has attention to detail and an eye for delivering more than you expect. The smaller classroom size alone makes OCS well worth consideration and we highly recommend it!

My two kids have been attending OCS for 13 years (so far) starting in pre-school and now in high school. The focus here REALLY is Christ-centered education. I believe the leadership, staff, and teachers care about the students - both their academic success and long-term spiritual growth. They go out of their way to help the students work through their challenges, and actively pray for them. The Dean and Principal are outstanding in my opinion and I have high respect for how they handle many different situations. The families are also great and very supportive of each other; we have made many lifelong friends. OCS is where I think our kids will get the best foundation available to prepare them for what lies ahead - not just college/career, but whatever the world throws at them. I cannot over-emphasize the value of God's leading when it comes to making decisions for our kids. It's very comforting to know that even as we pray over them at home, the OCS board and staff are also praying about how to lead them and every decision is sought through Godly wisdom - not just profitability, high academic standards, political correctness, etc. We are so thankful for OCS and for the financial blessing that we can send them there. It's a sacrifice but I think it's worth every penny.

We have been a family at Oakland Christian School for 8 years. OCS offers many programs for a school it's size. Students can choose from fine arts, choir, drama, band, orchestra, and many sports. The school meets the needs of students who struggle and challenges those who desire AP classes, dual enrollment and a college prep diploma. OCS was just included in a select group of only 16 schools in Michigan that offer the AP Capstone Diploma beginning with the class of 2020. Spiritual Life is a key component of all aspects of the school. The teachers are incredibly dedicated to the students.

Oakland Christian is truly an amazing school. We feel so confident that our children are safe and will have the best education in a comfortable environment. Highly recommend this school.

We have 3 children who attend OCS and are very pleased with their education! The EEC (preschool) is phenomenal! Because of our wonderful experience with the EEC we have continued with the elementary school as well. We feel our children are safe, challenged educationally and spiritually, and are in a loving environment! We highly recommend OCS starting with the EEC!

Had 3 kids at Oakland Christian. Last one graduates this year. Staff & administration truly work to keep Christ at the center of everything. The school offers lots of ways students can use all kinds of gifts, excel and discover who they are -- preparatory school academics, competitive athletics, accomplished music & art programs, ministry leadership opportunities and more. Graduates from the school have gone on to serve as mayor, become professional hockey & soccer players, run ministries, and enter into fulfilling careers in teaching, actuarial science, robotics, aerospace, all kinds of things -- while serving Jesus wherever they are.

This is an amazing school! The curriculum incorporates leading edge teaching techniques combined with loving, outstanding faculty, to deliver an education built on a foundation of God's unmistakable word! I highly recommend.

When we were deciding where to send our four children we visited every school in the area. That was 4 years ago. We have fallen in love with the caring, compassionate and highly skilled staff. I recommend anyone considering private education just take a tour and see what it's all about.

My three kids have been at Oakland Christian School since 2009, and I'm thankful for the nurturing, Christ-centered environment as well as the rigorous academic programming. OCS is definitely a gem among the many private school offerings in the Oakland County area especially during a time when traditional values are constantly being compromised. I wouldn't send my kids anywhere else.

Bravo! This school provides such a loving, kind safe environment for children to learn. I am an aunt of a student and must say I am sooo impressed.
