High School

Equipped for the Future

High school is a pivotal chapter in your teen’s development.

They’re on the brink of adulthood. And, ready or not, they’re beginning to examine their beliefs, take ownership of their faith, and wrestle with decisions about college and career. 

As they navigate these formative years, we walk alongside your family, fully aware of the achievement treadmill, identity questions, and cultural currents tugging at them every day. 

Our high school experience equips students with both the academic skills for college and the spiritual foundation to stand firm when it matters most.

What Students Experience

Learning that builds discerning thinkers

Your teen will complete four years of core classes—English, Math, History, Science, and Bible—preparing them for university while developing critical thinking skills. Our curriculum aligns seamlessly with middle school, particularly in Pre-AP Algebra I, ensuring smooth transitions without gaps or repetition.

In every subject, teachers integrate biblical principles naturally. This creates students who evaluate information through a biblical lens and engage confidently with complex ideas. Faculty receive regular biblical worldview training to weave these connections across all disciplines.

Coursework and coaching that open college pathways

Because we offer a variety of AP and Concurrent Enrollment courses, students can earn over 40 hours of college credit while still in high school.

We intentionally prepare students for academic recognition and scholarships, including National Merit consideration. Through on-campus ACT preparation, practice exams, and individualized coaching, our students consistently improve their scores, unlocking doors to competitive universities and financial aid opportunities. Check out where our students go from here.

Students meet routinely with our college counselor to explore post-graduation options. Whether they’re considering university, military service, trade school, a gap year, or internships, we’ll help them discover their path. Through aptitude testing, they’ll identify their natural strengths and interests. Each semester, our counselor guides them in building resumes that showcase leadership, service, and extracurricular involvement, maximizing their scholarship potential and future opportunities.

Spiritual formation that moves from theory to practice

As students progress from freshmen to seniors, their biblical understanding deepens through classes like…

  • Old Testament Survey
  • New Testament Survey
  • Church History
  • Missiology
  • Biblical Worldview
  • Concurrent Theology

While engaging the mind is crucial, we know abiding faith needs practical application. That’s why our distinctive discipleship program places high school students in leadership roles, guiding middle schoolers through weekly Bible studies. This opportunity benefits both groups—younger students receive relatable mentorship while your teen develops confidence in articulating and living out their beliefs.

Students also find community in grade-specific gatherings. Guys meet for lunch Bible studies, while young ladies come together by grade level for meaningful conversations about faith and life. These settings create an atmosphere of trust where your student can ask honest questions, share struggles, and grow alongside peers who understand their journey.

Opportunities that expand horizons

Some memories stick. Like when your teen serves alongside friends in Jamaica or Ghana. Or the senior trip that marks the beginning of their final year. Or the friendly class competitions during HEROES Week that bring plenty of entertainment.

Beyond academics, students develop leadership and explore interests through organizations like Student Council, Academic Team, National Honor Society, Chess Club, Botany Club, and Sports Media. These activities not only enrich the high school experience but also strengthen college applications and scholarship opportunities.

Trust grows with freedom. That’s why our juniors and seniors head off campus for lunch. It’s a small privilege that signals something bigger: we’re gradually handing them the reins of responsibility.

Jackson Ramsey

OCS Student

One of the most special moments I’ve had at OCS was the privilege of attending the Vancouver mission trip and seeing how our time there over the past few years had impacted the community. The church we worked with started in the bottom of an insurance building, and now they’re growing faster than ever and have more than doubled in size. Seeing how we impacted those people was really special to me.

Bryelle Giorgi

OCS Student

I was able to find my place by becoming friends with my classmates. Because of the smaller class sizes, I was able to form deep and fulfilling connections with the people I sit next to in class. These friends push me to do better in school, volunteer outside of school with me, and serve alongside me on leadership boards.

Over Five Decades of Christian Education

Oklahoma Christian School (OCS) has been providing Christian education for more than five decades. From its humble beginning as an elementary school with 17 students and 5 teachers, OCS has developed into a flourishing community of over 1200 students.

The school was founded in 1970 as the Christian Center School under the arm of the Christian Conquest Center Church in Oklahoma City. Five years later, it became an independent institution and took the name Oklahoma Christian Schools, Inc. The school saw its first graduating class of 13 students in 1976, and for the next ten years rented facilities from Edmond churches in order to house its steadily growing enrollment. In 1987, OCS moved to the Metro Church (now Life.Church) campus and became neighbors with the church.  For the first time, the entire Pre-Kindergarten through 12th grade student body was unified in one location.

OCS completed its first building project in 1995 in the form of a middle school and gymnasium facility. In 2002, OCS was able to purchase land and the two buildings, which had previously been leased from the church. Campus growth became a reality as the school began developing its Master Plan. For the next several years, OCS enhanced the school property by expanding athletic fields, remodeling the playground, and constructing an outdoor amphitheater.

In 2007, the school began construction of the custom-designed Centennial Student Center which was strategically positioned to overlook the athletic fields and provide a practice gymnasium, cafeteria, band room, additional locker rooms, and weight room. Upstairs, the 5th and 6th grade students occupy the seven spacious classrooms. In 2012, the new High School building was completed.

OCS is an independent school accredited by the ACSI and fully recognized by the State Department of Education. Over the past 50 years, OCS has grown and expanded its wide range of classes and its opportunities for students. The school believes that these resources it enjoys are a gift, and that it is OCS’s responsibility to cultivate and steward those resources as it seeks to “partner with families in educating the whole person to glorify God.”

Welcome to OCS

Welcome to Oklahoma Christian School. Our mission is to partner with families in educating the whole person to glorify God. This mission is our driving passion and the focal point of everything we do. We consider every aspect of our curricular and co-curricular programs as an opportunity to shape the whole person.

We are in a wonderful chapter in the history of OCS.  This year, our enrollment is approximately 1,190 students, the largest in OCS history. The OCS campus has undergone a transformation in recent years. The campus has expanded, new buildings have been constructed, and athletic facilities have been enhanced. Our campus transformation continues this year with the renovation and expansion of the middle school building, which will be complete this school year.

Our academic programs also continue to develop. We now offer 13 Advanced Placement courses in addition to our six concurrent college courses. This year one OCS student was named a National Merit Finalist.

OCS has a history of success in athletics, with our boys track and boys golf both winning state championships last year. While we enjoy winning, we are most interested in using athletics as a platform to build our students’ character. Our coaches understand our mission and recognize that encouraging Christ-like character in our students is our highest priority.

Another thing I’m excited about is our teaching staff. Teachers are the heart of a school and one of the key ingredients in shaping a young person. At OCS, we have assembled a team of wonderful people who are deeply committed to the intellectual and spiritual development of our students. Our teachers are professional educators, subject matter experts, and they go the extra mile to prepare our students for a college education and a productive adult life.

We consider it a great privilege to shape the next generation.

Sincerely,

Al King, Ph.D.
Headmaster

Missions

Mission trips give high school students a chance to learn from and serve alongside others in cross-cultural settings. These trips are designed to support local missionaries, churches, and ministry organizations already doing the work.

Students are trained in evangelism before each trip and return with a deeper understanding of God’s work in the world and their role in it. Places served include Jamaica, Puerto Rico, Costa Rica, Vancouver, and Ghana.

Missions at OCS are not about checking a box. They are about forming students who serve faithfully and grow in dependence on God.

Biblical Integration

Spiritual formation at OCS reaches beyond Bible class. Teachers intentionally integrate Scripture, prayer, and biblical themes into their subject areas, helping students see how God’s truth connects to all of life. This biblical integration moves beyond just biblical information being integrated into the classroom, but teachers integrate biblical concepts and qualities into classroom practices as well. 

To guide this work, OCS has developed a set of “Big Picture Worldview Questions” that help students apply a biblical lens to what they’re learning and ask thoughtful, discerning questions across disciplines.

Faculty receive regular biblical worldview training led by the Headmaster or Director of Spiritual Formation. These sessions ensure that faith integration remains clear and consistent across every classroom.

Curriculum

From PreK through 12th grade, students engage in Bible classes designed to deepen knowledge and strengthen faith. In the elementary grades, students connect biblical stories and themes to everyday life. In middle school, students move through courses like Old Testament Survey, The Life of Christ, and Introduction to Apologetics.

High school students explore Scripture at an even deeper level by beginning their 9th-grade Bible course with a unit covering hermeneutics (Bible interpretation), and then through courses such as New Testament Survey, Church History, Missiology, Biblical Worldview, Apologetics, and a concurrent credit Theology class. Every course is crafted to match students’ spiritual maturity and challenge them to know God more deeply and live out what they believe.

These rhythms of discipleship are supported by a robust Bible curriculum that grows with students at every stage.

Discipleship

Discipleship at OCS happens in many forms but always with the same goal: to help students grow in their faith and walk more closely with Christ. In addition to Bible classes and chapel, students can take part in faculty- or student-led Bible studies, and small-group mentoring.

High school students lead middle schoolers in weekly Discipleship Groups. These relationships help students across grade levels grow in connection, truth, and servant leadership. Middle school boys can attend Manday Monday, a weekly Bible study, while girls gather for Thrive. High school students also participate in lunch Bible studies, with groups organized by grade and gender. In elementary school, the 4th and 5th grade students are led through a Bible study curriculum focusing on leadership and influence. 

Some students meet with faculty or staff for one-on-one mentoring, creating space for personal reflection and spiritual encouragement. Discipleship across the school is coordinated by the Director of Spiritual Formation, who supports students, families, and staff in shaping spiritual rhythms that are both personal and communal.
