EDUCATION WITH A FOCUS ON FAITH, FAMILY & FRIENDS IS THE HEARTBEAT OF
OAK GROVE CHRISTIAN SCHOOL.
Oak Grove Christian School (OGCS) uses several Christian curricula. The ABeka Book Curriculum, Purposeful Design and BJU Press are used for academic instruction. When appropriate, other sources may be added to benefit the child in the mastering of Ohio's Learning Standards. Due to the ages of our students and the fact that this school has families attending from various denominations, we use an adapted Bible curriculum from several resources. We are serious about our responsibility of providing each child with an academic foundation and love the privilege we have to enforce the values of faith each family teaches at home.
OGCS admits students of any race, color, and national and ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national or ethnic origin. This applies to the administration of its educational policies, admissions policies, scholarship and loan programs, and athletic and other school administered programs.
OGCS is listed with the Ohio Department of Education as a Non-Chartered, Non-Tax supported school and meets the Ohio operating standards. All of our teachers are college educated, and all of our K-6th grade teachers have at least a bachelor's degree. Our three-year-old preschool and four-year-old pre-kindergarten program meets all state requirements and is licensed under the Ohio Department of Jobs and Family Services.

OUR STORY
With many years of early childhood education behind her, Melody Hoskinson began teaching and running a small faith-based preschool in the Marietta area. After nine successful years there, she and her staff felt God's leading to expand the program by adding a full day option to the preschool and K-4 classes along with kindergarten. This expansion led them to the Oak Grove Recreation Center (formerly known as Oak Grove Elementary School.) After the first successful year at Oak Grove Christian School (OGCS), a combined first and second grade class was added. This year, OGCS is pleased to announce that we have classes through SIXTH grade! Providing a quality education is a responsibility the staff and school board of OGCS take seriously, and being able to do that in a Christian environment is a privilege.
