At Oconee Christian Academy, we are committed to building Christian leaders who will impact their world for Jesus Christ, now and in the future. We encourage all of our students to be involved in service and ministry activities which share the love of God within their community, and expect them to participate in weekly Chapel services. Our Warrior Impact Training and Boost Team gives HS students an additional opportunity to develop their leadership skills by serving as spiritual leaders to the rest of our students. Students can also acquire leadership and service skills through participation in the National Beta Club, National Junior Beta Club and Student Government.

Accredited through both Cognia and ACSI, our curriculum is designed to prepare our students for academic success at the next level. Even in the early grades, we challenge our students to expand their knowledge. In kindergarten, students develop an enthusiasm for learning, respect for others, and an understanding of God’s love for them. During the elementary years, students are given a strong academic foundation in core subjects like Math, English, Reading, Science, Social Studies, Writing and Bible. In the middle and high school years, our high academic standards give students the opportunity to build on strong foundations in each of these subjects and challenge them to develop greater skills and knowledge which will prepare them for their future. We offer a variety of Dual Credit and AP courses giving them the opportunity to earn both HS and College credit while in our building! Throughout our entire curriculum, the students develop an understanding of the correlation between God’s plan and provision in relation to the world and culture in which they live.
We offer a variety of sports programs at OCA. Both boys and girls can begin to participate in Cross Country in upper elementary school. There is also girls’ volleyball and boys soccer in the fall. In the winter, both our girls and boys have the opportunity to play on several levels within our basketball programs. Spring brings opportunities for girls’ soccer and boys’ baseball, as well as golf. Our teams generally have a strong showing in our conference and numerous State Championships have been won over the last several years. We have a wonderful weight room for the Varsity programs to utilize.
