I had the chance to visit the building on Friday. It looks amazing. Cement floors throughout! Now that the building is enclosed, things are moving quickly. The place looks great, and I am eager to see the building full of
OCA students in the near future.
My visit on Friday was part business. Kathy Larsen, Mike Lewis and I showed the building to some moms who are considering
OCA for their children. People asked great questions, and we had the
opportunity to describe why
OCA is important to us.
The point that I always come back to is that there are a lot of places where academics are taught and students do well on tests. Solid academics are key elements of my family's experience at
OCA. The key distinction though is that
OCA brings God's word, and his truth to light in each subject. I think of it as a fully integrated approach to education. It is not simply adding a Bible class, or chapel to the schedule. Living for God and seeing the world through the filter of His Word is the way
OCA works.
