Philosophy & Benefits of the Educational Options Program
At Ontario Christian, we believe that parents play the primary role in the discipleship and training of their children. As we partner with parents in their role, we want to provide options that incorporate the utilization of our educational options program in a full-time or part-time setting. These settings include the following:
- Families can choose to educate their students full-time at home with the encouragement and support of our educational options staff as needed. OC collects the required paperwork and maintains a cumulative file for each student to ensure educational and legal standards are being met. Homeschooling is not WASC accredited. For more info please go to edop.ocschools.org.
- Monthly field trips are offered as well as on-campus activities such as chapels, Green and Gold Day, Ontario Christian Family events as well as participation in promotion and graduation ceremonies.
- Standardized MAP testing is offered on campus for 1st through 8th grade in the fall and spring.
- Our Classical Education homeschool hybrid option meets off-site 2 days a week to enhance the learning of Educational Options students and can be used for meeting course requirements in History, Bible, Science, Language Arts, Logic, Art, Music, and Latin! Includes IEW writing instruction for 2nd-8th grade. Not WASC accredited. For more information please go to edop.ocschools.org.
- All students in the 3rd-12th grades have the option of attending classes on-campus part-time. This option allows our middle school and high school students to participate in sports, band, choir, art, and other programs offered on campus.
- OC Online provides asynchronous accredited Christian courses for students grade 3-12, that can be started at any time throughout the year.
- Fab Fridays: Elementary enrichment classes which include Art, STEM activities, living history projects, explorations in art, theater arts, and music. Students also attend weekly chapel. For more information, please go to edop.ocschools.org.
