OCS in a Nutshell

“…that they may be called oaks of righteousness,
the planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified.”
Isaiah 61:3

Our Pillars

Christ-centered

Christ is at the center of everything we do at OCS. We teach from a Biblical perspective, encouraging students to discover God’s truth in every subject area. We want our students to have a strong Biblical foundation so that they are equipped to live God-glorifying lives, rooted in Christ.

Holistic

Our holistic approach to instruction engages all learning styles and preferences. This model encourages students to connect concepts to the real world, cultivate a love of learning, and develop creative and critical thinking skills.

Relational

At OCS, we aim to nurture students socially, emotionally, and spiritually. Our teachers intentionally foster meaningful relationships with students, ensuring that each individual is seen, heard, encouraged, and challenged.

Service-oriented

At OCS, we seek to follow Christ’s example of love and service to others. Local and global service partnerships provide students with the opportunity to serve others and broaden their worldview.

“OCS has surpassed all of our expectations for this year. They deeply know my son – personally and academically – and he has truly developed a love for learning. OCS weaves the gospel into everything they do and his spiritual growth has been remarkable to watch. We are so thankful to be a part of this unique community in Charlotte and to have two children at Oaks Christian School next year.”
