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 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 and participation in graduation.
- Standardized MAP testing is offered on campus for 1st through 8th grade in the fall and spring.
- Classical Education Hybrid class options meet one and a half 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, art, music and even Latin! Includes IEW writing instruction for 3rd-8th grade. Parents choose their own math and phonics curriculum to teach at home. Not WASC accredited. For more information please go to edop.ocschools.org
- All students in 1st through 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 is another option for our Educational Options students in 3rd through 12th grades. These courses can be started at any time throughout the year. (It is suggested that the elementary and middles school students follow the traditional school calendar for best results.) Students can log in anywhere as long as there is internet connection.
- Fab Fridays: Elementary enrichment classes which include cooperative learning games, STEM activities, living history projects, explorations in art, and theater arts. Students also attend chapel. For more information, please go to edop.ocschools.org
