School Reviews
| 5 9/1/2016 This is an amazing school! The curriculum incorporates leading edge teaching techniques combined with loving, outstanding faculty, to deliver an education built on a foundation of God's unmistakable word! I highly recommend. - Posted by Parent - sahnf |
| 5 9/1/2016 When we were deciding where to send our four children we visited every school in the area. That was 4 years ago. We have fallen in love with the caring, compassionate and highly skilled staff. I recommend anyone considering private education just take a tour and see what it's all about. - Posted by Parent - Georg |
| 5 9/1/2016 My three kids have been at Oakland Christian School since 2009, and I'm thankful for the nurturing, Christ-centered environment as well as the rigorous academic programming. OCS is definitely a gem among the many private school offerings in the Oakland County area especially during a time when traditional values are constantly being compromised. I wouldn't send my kids anywhere else. - Posted by Parent - ashel |
| 5 3/19/2015 Bravo! This school provides such a loving, kind safe environment for children to learn. I am an aunt of a student and must say I am sooo impressed. - Posted by Parent - Famil |
