Dedicated to making a difference

When thinking about education, the individual child comes first; in successful schools, each student is the absolute top priority. Educating our children is important to OCCS and our partners because we realize that today’s students are tomorrow’s leaders. Their success is our future. And that’s why OCCS embraces each and every child in the community.

Everyone learns differently. Our schools offer the first, and sometimes only, opportunity for many families to choose the right school for their children. They have the chance to choose an alternative to the local district school, which may be overcrowded, under funded, or perhaps even dangerous. If a local school cannot meet a child’s needs, an OCCS affiliated school  may be exactly what he or she is looking for. In fact, many students thrive with the special attention and alternative methods employed by the schools under our direction.

Motivated by excellence...

Educational excellence motivates OCCS. Even though we make the success of each individual child our primary goal, we’re still governed and held accountable by the same controls that manage district schools:

bulletProficiency, achievement, graduation, and other diagnostic tests
bulletPublic reporting of all testing data
bulletAnnual state-issued Report Cards
bulletRegular financial audits performed by the Auditor of State
bulletThe federal “No Child Left Behind” Act
