Oakdale Christian Academy

Oakdale Christian Academy is unlike any other school! Read here about the Five Points of Distinction that make Oakdale Christian Academy unique among schools.

Oakdale makes Christ central to its mission and activities, but this is true at many Christian schools. What is especially powerful about Oakdale is that staff members and their families live on the same 12-acre campus with the students. In a 24/7 community, students see examples of Christ-centered lives, and staff members are always there to provide direction and support.

It is not simply that we offer a boarding program to its students that makes us unique; Oakdale further distinguishes itself by being the first school in the U.S. to receive boarding accreditation by the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI).

Oakdale is fully accredited by ACSI and Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS) through Advanc-ED. The college placement rate of our graduates is over ninety percent.

It is not just that we are among the lowest-priced boarding schools in the U.S. that makes OCA affordable. Our financial aid programs make it possible for students in any income bracket to attend. This in itself is unlike nearly any other school.

We are an affordable Christian boarding school with

• A rich 99-year history and a mission to serve our students and the world
• A Christian philosophy of education, proving a top education taught with along with firm beliefs

The fully accredited education provided by Oakdale Christian Academy provides a solid traditional curriculum as well as courses providing skills for college and university study and for the contemporary workplace. This quality education, which is delivered with a Biblical world view, is rigorous and challenging to every student. Advanced and college level courses ensure that even the most gifted students will be intellectually challenged.

While the curriculum is demanding, the support is abundant. Faculty members are available to provide extra help for serious students after school or during a mutually agreed period. Residential students have mandatory evening study hall which is supervised and supported by their dorm parents. Students who are limited or restricted are required to have Saturday study hall as well.
