The MISSION of Ovilla Christian school

Ovilla Christian School will cultivate an environment in which followers of Christ may flourish as they become biblical thinkers, lifelong learners, and servant leaders.

Christian Education at Ovilla Christian: a three-fold approach

Christian education is unique in the educational world in its focus on the formation of the whole student—spiritually, intellectually, physically, emotionally, and socially—into a fully devoted disciple of Jesus Christ, well prepared for life in the world while not being of the world.

Spiritual life requires cultivation and nurturing, and this begins in the student’s home and in their local church. Parents are the first and primary teachers of their children as they seek to bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord. Ovilla Christian School will continue this work and cultivate an environment in which followers of Christ may flourish as they become life-long learners and servant leaders.

We expect OCS families to be actively involved in a local church body, as this is vital for the health of the Christian. Your school community is not a substitute for membership or active involvement in a church.

HISTORY OF OCS

In the fall of 1992, Ovilla Christian School opened with nine Kindergarten students under the leadership of ORBC pastor Rev. Nick Harris.

Ovilla Christian School has served Ellis and surrounding counties by partnering with parents to teach students through a perspective based on God's Word as revealed truth—a biblical worldview.

PreK–12th grade was completed in the 1997–1998 school year. Our first PreK3 class began in fall 2022, the same year that ORBC Mother's Day Out merged with the school to create the Early Education 2-Day program.
