Our daughter spent 2 years at OCA after we moved to the area and she graduated from there last year. While she initially struggled with the move, the staff and students continued to love on her and she came around to embrace her experience there. She got a quality education that was well-rounded with fun sporting and social opportunities, but most importantly strengthened her faith. She was accepted and received a lot of scholarship money at every college she applied to. OCA prepared her well as she is currently thriving in her college classes.

I have two children that have graduated from OCA. Both have gone on to major universities with scholarships. More importantly they both have a healthy and active relationship with Jesus. My third child is at OCA now, and I would do whatever is necessary to keep him there. Top notch education, fantastic atmosphere, accomplished athletic programs, and Christian Worldview. Wow!! It has become more than a school It is our family.

This school is amazing. One son grade 4 through graduation went to OCA. He was accepted tp every college he applied to, United States Naval Academy, Unites States Air Force Academy, Georgia Tech, Embry Riddle, Virginia Tech. Was a tutor to kids from large colleges his freshman year at the Naval Academy. Calculus he took first year at the USNA, was what he had senior OCA. Amazing education at OCA.
