Middle School and High School

Secondary Program

The secondary program at OCS, including both middle school (grades 6-8) and high school (grades 9-12), effectively prepares students for success in future educational and vocational pursuits. We engage, challenge, and motivate students to realize a life of purpose that benefits others and is glorifying to God.

The middle school program engages students in core course work including Bible, while offering a wide variety of electives such as S.T.E.M. (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics), foreign languages, and visual and performing arts.

In addition to core coursework, the high school program features extensive media, visual, and performing arts, S.T.E.M., foreign languages, business and technology, physical fitness, and a variety of biblical studies classes.
