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 phone or text (423) 498-9292 or email, laurahulsey@oca.oakwoodbc.org.
Application Process
For most new families, the application process begins through an introduction to our school. You may have heard about us from friends, family, 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, with the exception of holidays and school breaks.

Submission of student application does not guarantee acceptance.
