Admissions
Okeechobee Christian Academy was established to provide a quality Christian education for students. Admission requirements are designed to conform to that purpose. Students who are enrolled and those applying for admission to OCA are evaluated on the basis of their:
§ Desire to attend OCA.
§ Attitude toward Christian standards and principles.
§ Desire to excel academically and the capacity to become self-disciplined.
§ Previous school records (academic and behavioral).
§ Results of pre-admissions and placement testing.
§ Reputation for moral character and respect for authority.
Five-year-old Kindergarten and First Grade applicants must be five and six years of age respectively before September 1st of the school year for which they are applying. Exceptions will be made at the discretion of the Headmaster and upon the parents’ signed agreement of the Premature Age Enrollment Disclaimer.
All students must be fully toilet-trained. Your child must be toilet trained for a classroom environment. Due to supervisory and health concerns, the OCA staff will not be responsible for changing soiled clothing. If a child has an accident (i.e. urinating, defecating, etc.), the parent will be called and expected to immediately send someone to change their child’s clothing and clean up. If accidents occur in excess of three times, the child may be withdrawn from the school.
Okeechobee Christian Academy does not discriminate on the basis of race, sex, color, national or ethnic origin in determining eligibility for student admission, in the administration of its educational policies or in any of its programs.
Registration packets may be obtained from the school office during normal operating hours. Submitting a completed registration packet and/or any payment does not guarantee enrollment, it merely notifies OCA of the parent’s desire for their child’s candidacy. For those presently attending and re-registering their child, all accounts must be current in order to re-enroll.
