About the School
- The Ocheyedan Christian School Society was first organized in March of 1938 for the purpose of providing a summer Bible School for the children of the congregation of the Christian Reformed Church.
- This was done for nine years.
- Then in March of 1947, at the annual School Society meeting, a constitution was adopted.
- The school board at this time included Harry Sikma, president; George De Groot, vice president; Cornelius Runia, secretary; John Wolterstorff, treasurer; Pete Bosma and Laurence Ringling.
- The mission of Ocheyedan Christian School is to develop in each of God's children a knowledge and understanding of Christ and His creation based on God's word so that they can obediently serve God and others as they work and play.
- We are a fully state-accredited school with certified teachers.
- We offer students opportunities in curricular and co-curricular activities, helping to develop the child intellectually, emotionally, socially, and spiritually.
- Christian schooling requires a commitment of time, energy, and resources.
