Philosophy

Education with a focus on faith, family and friends is the heartbeat of OGCS. We realize the early years of a child’s life are instrumental in preparing a child for his/her future. We know that parents, grandparents, and other adults will be the first and most significant teachers in their young lives. Therefore, we will strive to work with families as a team to provide the best early, Christian education possible.

At an early age, children learn to play, ... one of the most important aspects of their lives

At an early age, children learn to play, and we all know playing is one of the most important aspects of their lives. At OGCS we take this seriously, understanding that through play children develop independence, creativity, responsibility, and self-control. As children play, they are encouraged to interact with others, share, participate in role play, accept people’s differences, and build relationships with both classmates and adults in the class. Along with group play, we set up and encourage individual play to build skills in problem solving, build imagination and overall responsibility. Our indoor and outdoor child-centered environments offer activities for both active and quiet play.

Curriculum

Oak Grove Christian School uses several Christian curriculums in their daily routines. Academic instruction comes from The A Beka Book Curriculum and BJU Press. We use an adapted Bible curriculum from several sources to cover the age span of our children and because we know that families attending OGCS come from various denominations.

All our chosen curriculums are created by professional teachers and administrators based, most importantly, on the Word of God, sound knowledge and common sense. Oak Grove Christian School is licensed through Ohio Department of Job and Family Services. You can find the licensing and inspection reports in the school office.
