OCS is a Christian college preparatory school offering the highest level of academic achievement. We are mindful that all of our students are God’s covenant children and we strive to help them maximize their God-given gifts and abilities for His glory.

Our teachers, faithful and dedicated to Jesus Christ, have been chosen for their qualifications, character and professional standing. Serving together in partnership with our parents, we are committed to the education, care, and guidance of our students. Our earnest desire is that God will use the school to produce young men and women who know and love God and want to live a life that glorifies Him moment by moment.

OCS offers a wide range of extracurricular programs that have earned our school an outstanding reputation in the community. From sports to fine arts and clubs, the commitment of faculty, coaches, players, thespians, musicians and artists produce numerous awards each year.
