At OCA we are building on the only sure and lasting foundation upon which to build, Jesus.

Building Solid Foundations

Read what some of our graduates are saying:

 
“OCA taught me how to think critically and to ask the question, ‘Why?’ OCA also helped me develop strong communication skills that have been very beneficial to me both in college and in my job.”
— Denby Bash, Senior Financial Analyst, Federal Reserve Bank (OCA Class of 2013)
“OCA gave me a worldview I know to be true and gave me the tools to analyze ideas or theories to see whether or not they are true. The teachers at OCA also taught me how to work hard for something I’m striving for, and not to give up even though I may mess up along the way.”
— Alexis Barber, Biomedical Engineering Student, University of Arkansas (OCA Class of 2018)
“OCA provided me with the opportunity to have a personal discipleship relationship with one of my teachers. I was more prepared to continue my higher education and find success in the military as a direct result of the time he gave to tutor, mentor, and disciple me and others in my class.”
— Titus Ray, Military and Southwest Baptist University (OCA Class of 2015)
“As time has passed since I graduated from OCA, I’ve seen more clearly the true value of a Christian education, and I could not be more grateful that my parents chose this for my life at a young age. At OCA, I was surrounded by people who both cared about my relationship with the Lord and challenged me academically. I thank God for giving me a place to learn about His truths before going out into the world to make disciples of all nations!”
— Kemper Palmer, Corporate Office of Walmart (Bentonville) Manager 1 Analytics, Category Space and Modular Development, Entertainment and Toys (OCA Classof 2015)
“OCA has prepared me very well academically, yet I’m finding it more important how well prepared I am to encounter people, navigate conversations, and defend my faith.”
— Aubrey Craig, Missouri State University College Student (OCA Class of 2019)
