Admissions
Thank you for your interest in OCA. We understand both the importance and significance of this vital decision regarding where your student will attend school. We are here to serve and assist you through the admissions process. OCA’s educational process and commitment, both in and out of the classroom, is directed to the development of Christian students to enable them to translate the different facets of their educational experience into Christian living.
As a community Christian school, OCA believes in “Kingdom Education”, a lifelong, Bible-based, Christ-centered process of leading a student to Christ, building a student up in Christ, and equipping a student to serve Christ. It is our desire to assist parents and be an extension of the home in the development of students spiritually, academically, physically, and socially so that they will think from a biblical worldview as they launch into God’s plan and purpose for their lives.
It is our desire to provide the attention, information, and support you will need to make one of the most important decisions of a lifetime.
Contact the admissions office by email, call or text (423) 498-9292.
Application Process
For most new families, the application process begins with an introduction to our school. You may have heard about us from friends, family, or fellow church members, or perhaps you located us online or simply drove by our campus. We recommend you schedule a campus visit to learn more about our school and community. We offer campus visits every Tuesday and Thursday, except for holidays and school breaks.
STEP 1 – Private Tour
Choose the Private Tour tab below to begin the process of scheduling your campus tour.
STEP 2 – Application
After your campus tour, you will receive an email with a link to the Admissions Application. Once we receive the completed application and fee, the student’s admissions file is now open.
Also within the email will be a list of required information which must be submitted with the application.
A non-refundable fee of $100 for each application is paid when you submit the application. This payment is drafted by FACTS Tuition Management at the end of the application process.
STEP 3 – Admissions Assessment
Once the Application and required information have been received, you will receive an email or text to schedule a time for the student’s Admissions Assessment.
STEP 4 – Notification
Accepted: parents will receive an email to complete the student enrollment and payment of the non-refundable enrollment fees.
Accepted, but no seat available: they will be placed in a waiting pool until an opening becomes available.
Not accepted: parents will receive an explanation.
Submission of the student application does not guarantee acceptance.
Private Tour
Any day is a great day to see what God is doing at OCA. A private tour will enable you to meet the administration, faculty, staff, and students. Sharing what OCA has to offer you and your student, answering any questions you may have, and making you feel at home are important to us.
