High School Program

Shaping Leaders with Conviction and Character

High school is more than preparation for college—it’s preparation for a life of purpose.

At Oakland Christian School, we put faith first—creating a Christ-centered environment where students are known, challenged, and inspired to grow. Our high school program combines strong academics with meaningful opportunities to lead, serve, and discover God’s purpose for their lives. Whether they’re aiming high in the classroom, working hard on the field, or caring deeply through service, students are becoming confident leaders who live out their faith with integrity.

Strong Academics

At Oakland Christian School, our high school program provides a strong academic foundation while allowing students to explore their individual interests and talents.

Students engage in core subjects while also having access to a wide range of elective courses in the arts, technology, world languages, and more.  

Our dedicated and highly qualified teachers are committed to fostering a learning environment that is both challenging and engaging. They strive to inspire curiosity, critical thinking, and a love for learning in every student.  

We offer a variety of Advanced Placement (AP) courses, including the AP Capstone Diploma Program. These courses help students develop college-level skills and can lead to college credit. Students can also take advantage of dual credit opportunities, allowing them to earn both high school and college credit simultaneously. 

With a combination of strong academics, personalized learning paths, and opportunities for advanced study, Oakland Christian School equips students to excel in high school and beyond. 

Spiritual Emphasis

We believe that spiritual growth is an essential part of education. Our goal is to create an environment where students deepen their faith, develop a biblical worldview, and learn to live out their beliefs in meaningful ways.

Faith is woven into daily life at OCS through Bible classes that provide a strong foundation in Scripture and its application to everyday life. Weekly chapel services bring the school community together for worship, prayer, and biblical teaching. In addition, small group Bible studies allow students to connect more personally with peers and mentors as they discuss their faith, ask questions, and encourage one another in their walk with Christ.

Beyond the classroom, students have opportunities to put their faith into action. Local service projects allow them to make a difference in the community, while an annual retreat and mission trip provide unique experiences to grow spiritually and serve others in new settings. These experiences are part of our commitment to Teaching for Transformation, which challenges students to see their role in God’s story and apply their learning to real-world impact.

Flourishing Community

At Oakland Christian School, we believe a supportive school community is vital for student success. When students feel welcomed and accepted, they thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. We’re committed to fostering a Christ-centered environment where every student feels valued and included, regardless of background or differences.

Our culture of mutual respect encourages students to embrace each other’s unique qualities, fostering both personal growth and academic achievement, all while staying true to the values that shape our school community.
