OCA students don’t just cover content — they master it. With individualized learning plans, hands-on projects, and teachers who truly know every child, our students grow in ways that show up in their confidence, character, and scores.
We assess every student individually using NWEA MAP Growth — a nationally normed standardized test — so we always know exactly where each child is and what they need next.
In the 2025–26 school year, every single student we assessed showed measurable upward growth from their first assessment to their second. Not most — every one. That doesn’t happen by accident.
Most of our students are tracking at or above the 75th national percentile for their grade — meaning they are outperforming the majority of their peers nationwide. Several are tracking toward the 95th percentile.
Our newest transfer student arrived below grade level and made significant gains in a single year — because at OCA, every child receives a learning plan built specifically around where they are, not where we wish they were.
When you visit OCA, we’ll walk you through our student growth data in detail — including how your child would be assessed and supported from day one.
Results assessed using NWEA MAP Growth, a nationally normed standardized assessment administered in Grades 3 and up. OCA uses these results to understand and serve each student individually.
This is what integrated, hands-on learning looks like at OCA. Students aren’t watching a video about robotics — they’re building, programming, testing, and solving real problems together. Science, math, critical thinking, and teamwork happening all at once.
“The personalized and integrated learning environment at OCA has been amazing for our kids to get back to the joy of learning.”
OCA offers a rich, integrated curriculum from Kindergarten through 8th grade. Every subject is taught to mastery, connected across disciplines, and rooted in a Christ-centered view of knowledge.
Phonics and early reading, novel studies, evidence-based writing, grammar in context, rhetoric and debate. Students learn to read closely, write clearly, and speak with courage.
Number sense through algebra readiness — taught with clear targets, timely feedback, and mastery before moving on. Strong standards alignment with real problem-solving built in at every level.
Family and community, maps and geography, U.S. history and government, world regions, and civic projects. Students develop a biblical framework for understanding culture and society.
Observation, investigation, and discovery — from nature journaling and simple experiments in early grades to Earth systems, forces, physical science, and data analysis in middle school.
Students meet great composers and artists across history, develop technique, and create their own work. Music goes from steady beat and worship songs in K–1 to theory, ensemble, and recital in middle school.
Early exposure to multiple world languages through songs, stories, and conversation. Middle school adds STEAM — CAD basics, maker projects, and coding — building students confident with and without technology.
Academic excellence at OCA doesn’t stay inside school walls. Our students compete, perform, and excel in regional and national competitions — representing their school, their families, and their faith.
We are so proud of their hard work, faith, and love of learning.
No page captures what it’s like to sit in an OCA classroom — where children are genuinely excited to learn, teachers know every child by name, and faith and academics come together naturally every single day.
