Overview
We are a University-Model School and that means we combine the best attributes of traditional schooling with the best attributes of homeschool and integrate them into one model.
The result is quality, cost-effective, college-preparatory education that gives parents more time for imparting their own faith and values to their children.
In partnership with one another, parents and the school work together toward a mutual goal: to produce wholesome, competent, and virtuous followers of Christ who will change the world in their generation.".
Ovilla Christian School is a ministry of Ovilla Road Baptist Church.
Ovilla Christian School will cultivate an environment in which followers of Christ may flourish as they become biblical thinkers, lifelong learners, and servant leaders.
