Self-reflection. Prayer. A simple Google search. An answered prayer. That was the path that led our family to Oak City Academy in the spring of 2023. Up until that point, I had been homeschooling our two youngest of five, Isaiah and Micaiah. I was praying specifically for extended educational support, meaningful social connections, and a place where their spiritual growth would be nurtured alongside their learning.

From our first interaction, we were met with guidance, warmth, and a sense of genuine care that immediately put our hearts at ease. Our boys’ teachers have consistently reinforced that their “little voices” matter and deserve to be heard in this big world. They have not only been a catalyst for engaged, hands-on learning, but also a bridge for continued confidence, curiosity, and character development.

We are deeply grateful for the authentic, Christ-centered environment they cultivate daily and the way they partner with families in shaping both hearts and minds!

Our family has had such a wonderful experience with the OCA blended program. The unique model, which beautifully balances homeschooling with in-person school days, has been the perfect fit for our family and gives us the best of both worlds. We truly appreciate how the school integrates faith-based values with the Montessori method, providing a supportive and enriching environment for our children both in the classroom and at home. We love that OCA is focused on educating and developing the whole child, with an emphasis on godly character and generosity. We started with our oldest in kindergarten and choosing OCA has been a blessing for our family! 

Oak City Academy has been such a blessing to our family in so many ways. As we began our research into homeschooling, a friend recommended OCA’s “blended program”, and I am forever grateful for this. My oldest is now in her second year, and we can’t wait to see the positive impact it also has on our younger children as they enter their school-age years. Every member of the staff exudes kindness, love, and most importantly, a heart for the Lord. The care that is put into the teaching approach and the effort to integrate kingdom centered details throughout each day is palpable. We are so grateful for the support and partnership we have built with OCA in such a short time, and we can’t wait to see what the future holds! 

We have been at OCA since our oldest son started Kindergarten. The teachers and administration truly know my kiddos and the ways in which they each need to be loved, challenged and shepherded. My kids love to learn and I think that is owed greatly to the way that OCA brings wonder and curiosity into the classroom. The academics are top-notch and OCA ensures that every child works at their own individual pace. Most importantly, OCA values growing kingdom-hearted learners. God's story is woven into lessons, experiments, group work, and even recess, teaching the gospel in everyday moments. OCA is willing to listen to parents' advice and feedback and truly wants to be the best it can be for students. We are very thankful for Oak City Academy! 

We LOVEEEE OCA. Love. We feel so at home there, our child is loved and valued— not just another student in a long roster. They are always open to feedback and are very open to all parent choices. The kids get to learn at their pace and are encouraged to explore. Entrepreneurial skills are also a large part of the curriculum— soft skills are a huge focus. I love that because I don’t want a high achieving child. I want a well rounded, adaptable child that has a huge heart for serving others and is a critical thinker.

On our first visit to Oak City Academy, we were immediately struck with a sense of peace. Touring the classrooms, the kids were so calm and joyful. We enrolled our kids in 6th, 3rd and 2nd grades full-time and they are thriving! We came from homeschooling before this, and it was such an easy transition to them. They love the freedom and independence, key to the Montessori experience. We appreciate the kingdom-focus, with our lower elementary kids spending quiet time in their Bibles immediately upon entering the classroom. What an incredible way to start their day! Our Middle School student appreciates his different teachers, the small class sizes, and the fun electives like Pickleball. We are so grateful for finding OCA!
