High School

Single Hero

Lorem Ipsum Dolor

The future is now. Our high school students are forging their path and setting the course for their future success during these last four years, and we are behind them all the way to the finish line.

As they move from freshmen to seniors, the focus is on preparing students to lead and serve in a fast-changing global community. Through our robust academic, artistic, and athletic programs, we aim to graduate difference-makers: compassionate, independent young men and women who will make an impact beyond the OCS campus.

High School Distinctives

Advisories

All high school students are part of an advisory, led by faculty or staff who serve as mentors and role models, taking the time to connect with students are outside of the classroom. Advisories meet weekly as a group to discuss topics ranging from chapel presentations to general student life. Advisories also have relaxing times, sharing meals together and also participating in Service Learning opportunities.

Capstones

Students in our signature institutes, as well as other advanced academic classes, produce a capstone project in their senior year. Be it in performing or visual arts, engineering, English, global leadership or any other discipline, the capstone is the culmination of their work over their high school academic experience.

VEX Robotics

VEX Robotics is the country’s largest robotics program for  high school students. Members of this team learn the basics of robot design and programming, all while designing and building a robot to compete in the annual VEX Robotics competition. Students meet after school and work in teams of 3-4 students to build a robot of their own design. 

Mock Trial

The Mock Trial program allows high school students to participate in a simulated legal process, acting as prosecuting and defense attorneys, detectives, bailiffs, courtroom artist, journalists, judges, witnesses, and advocates. Through hands-on preparation and in a real court setting at the Ventura County Superior Court, students learn valuable skills while competing against teams from other area high school. Finalists advance to state and national competitions.
