School Reviews
5 2/9/2024
Our two students love attending OAE! They are both learning so much and have grown as Christians in their years here. We as parents enjoy that they are well cared for throughout the day by loving teachers and staff. Our older child plays sports after school and there are private piano lessons available at the church after school. Most importantly, we feel like we all belong to a special community by being involved in academic, social, spiritual, and church activities here.

Teachers and Administrators are Christ-centered. Positive, family atmosphere. Small class size.

Our two kids have been at OAE since Kindergarten and we can't believe how lucky we are to have such a great school for them! The teachers are genuinely kind, and compassionate, and have the time to put special focus on every student. We are impressed not only by the academics, the extracurricular programs but more importantly, the character development. The older grades interact with the younger grades on a regular basis with a big buddy program and it really fosters a strong sense of community for our kids. They feel like they belong, which is so great. We appreciate the Christian education, specifically emphasizing strong morals and values. The parents are committed to the school and I have really enjoyed becoming friends with like-minded parents who want their children to grow up in a safe environment where they are treated with respect, kindness, and integrity.
