A Dream is Realized

Orange County Christian School opened its doors in September 1975 at the Norwalk Church of Christ building.  The school was known as Pioneer Christian School.

The goal of the parents and members of the Church of Christ was to have a Christ-centered education for their children.

In the beginning the school had grades Kindergarten through third, 30 students, two teachers and one part-time principal.

OCCS  has, in their two decades of education, grown to preschool through senior high.

The school purchased its present campus in Orange County in 1991.

Through the years, Christ-centered education has been the focus, and God has surely blessed this school and caused its growth.
 

Our aim is to develop children academically, spiritually, physically, and socially.  This is accomplished by the following specific objectives.

• Teaching the the Bible simply, accurately and completely

• Promote a personal relationship with God, Jesus the Christ and the Holy Spirit

• Promote academic excellence

• Teach high moral and personal standards

• Promote the Christian attitudes of love, concern and respect for others

• Encourage good study habits

• Develop respect for authority

• Christ-centered instruction

• Flexible curriculum

• A BEKA curriculum

• Yearly achievement testing

• Dress code standard for Kindergarten through Twelfth grade

• Member of the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI) and the National Christian School Association (NCSA)

OCCS is neither owned nor operated by a church and is non-denominational in the purest sense of the word.  The board members, faculty and staff are members of the Church of Christ.
