OCA Vision and Mission

We are a non-denominational private Christian school for PreK-12th that has a combined history of over 71 years of dedication and experience in educating children in the Oneonta area. It is our desire to provide a safe and caring environment that fosters a WHOLISTIC, CLASSICAL education WITH spiritual training for the children in our care. We are dedicated to preparing students for Godly, productive lives through academic excellence and spiritual development.We take pride in our small class sizes and family environment. We do not follow the Common Core or participate in the NYS testing program.  Students graduate with a NYS Local High School Diploma.


Our Core Values

We understand the responsibility of parents to properly educate their children.
The core values of OCA establish our commitment to both the parents and students we are responsible to. Those core values are:
  • Demonstrate a Christ-like love for others
  • Ensure a safe, clean, and joyful working and learning environment
  • Be honest in all of our financial dealings and commitments
  • Impart biblical truth in the context of a quality academic education
  • Foster the development of each student’s God-given talents
  • Strive for excellence in both academic and spiritual learning
  • Support parents as they raise their children according to God’s Word and in His grace

Our Philosophy

The Oneonta Christian Academy is committed to: 
  • Helping parents understand the purpose and programs of the school and encouraging their involvement
  • Seeking parental input on important school issues
  • Being honest in all our financial dealings and commitments
  • Encouraging parents and students to attend a local Christ-centered church

We believe that knowledge benefits those who possess it only when they seek God in their lives.
​
The Bible charges parents to educate their children both academically and spiritually (Deuteronomy 6:4-7; Ephesians 6:4).
​
It is the school's expectation that each student will learn to strive for excellence in all things - consistent with serving and obeying the Lord Jesus Christ (Luke 2:52; James 1:22).
