Welcome to High School

High school is an important part of any student's life as they gain independence and get ready to step boldly into the future. During this time, it's easy to wonder if your student will be prepared.

ODCS is an environment where your student will be prepared spiritually and academically to follow Christ, excel in college and life, and redeem our culture.

The world needs disciples. Our culture needs Patriots. You are who the world needs.

High school is the gateway of the path to college on the journey of life, as the heart and mind are formed in Christ.

We're your partner as your student discovers their calling.
