At Ocean View Christian Academy, we believe education is far
more than academic instruction alone. Our mission is to glorify God
by equipping students spiritually, academically, socially, and
physically, and every aspect of our program is intentionally
designed to support the formation of the whole child. Serving
students from preschool through twelfth grade, OVCA provides a
Christ-centered, college-preparatory education that seeks to
cultivate wisdom, character, conviction, and competence at each age
and stage of development.
Families are often drawn to OVCA because they are looking for a
school environment where Biblical truth is not merely added onto
the educational experience, but thoughtfully integrated throughout
it in order to instill Biblical values in the minds and hearts of
their children. At OVCA, students are encouraged to understand who
they are in light of God's design and to view every academic
discipline through the lens of truth, purpose, and responsibility.
Our graduates are equipped to be spiritually purposed to live as
citizens of Heaven, academically primed to thrive in competitive
environments, socially prepared to cooperate in responsible
relationships, and physically practiced in principles of healthy
living. These foundational commitments shape not only what we
teach, but how we teach, lead, disciple, and serve.
Academically, OVCA seeks to provide a rigorous and engaging
educational experience that prepares students for success in
college, career, and beyond. Our teachers strive to cultivate
critical thinking, communication skills, creativity, and
intellectual curiosity while maintaining high expectations and
meaningful support for students. Families who value strong
academics often appreciate the balance OVCA seeks to maintain
between educational excellence and healthy student formation. We
believe students flourish best when they are both challenged and
known personally by the adults who serve them.
Many families also choose OVCA because they desire a safe,
structured, and relational environment where students are
encouraged to grow in character alongside their academic abilities.
Through intentional discipleship, mentorship, chapel services,
curriculum, athletics, fine arts, service opportunities, leadership
development, and daily interactions with faculty and peers,
students are guided toward becoming responsible, compassionate, and
resilient contributors to the world around them. Our schoolwide
goals reinforce these priorities through a multi-year focus on
healthy living, responsible relationships, and competitive skills
that help students navigate both present challenges and future
opportunities with wisdom and integrity.
OVCA also values strong partnership with families. We believe
parents are the primary influence in a child's life, and we seek to
cultivate meaningful communication and partnership between home and
school. Families frequently express appreciation for the sense of
community, personal investment, and shared values that characterize
the OVCA experience. From preschool foundations to senior capstone
experiences, our desire is to help students discover and develop
their God-given potential while preparing them to lead faithfully
and serve effectively wherever God calls them.Ultimately, families
choose Ocean View Christian Academy because they are seeking more
than a school. They are seeking a community, a family, committed to
developing students who are grounded in biblical truth, equipped
for academic success, strengthened in character, and prepared to
impact the world for His glory.
We have two students enrolled at Ocean View Christian (NOT the public Ocean View Hills). We are pleased with their academic progress, and the caring environment they are in. They have very small classes, and also teach how to be a good person. I would recommend this school.
