Financial Aid

Oaks Christian School is committed to enrolling a talented and diverse student body and seeks students who aspire to academic excellence, spiritual growth, and active participation in school activities.  We are determined to provide students with access to all the opportunities and programs that Oaks Christian School has to offer––as requests for aid and financial resources allow.  Last year, Oaks Christian School awarded significant resources in the form of need-based and mission-driven financial aid.
