Middle School

What you need to know about
academics at OCS:

Teachers Care about the Middle School Years

The middle school years are important, and our teachers not only understand the needs of the developing adolescent but love this age group.  

Supportive Teachers

Teachers encourage students to analyze, to explore critical thought, and to develop a qualified point of view.  

Teachers as Mentors

Teachers are always available during open periods, business lunches and after school to help, talk, and listen.

Small Classes

Classes are small enough that meaningful action can occur. 

Everyone Participates

Learning is often discussion-based. The student will discover wisdom in the ideas of others and in the texts.

Art is Important

The visual and performing arts are pervasive throughout the three years in middle school. Students get to learn from great teachers who are artists themselves. 

Teachers Have a Passion

They are people of faith and they love what they do.
