How many students are at Oaks Christian School?

For the 2018-2019 school year, we will have 1,319 enrolled students. The average class size is 18. The breakdown is as follows:

• 42 in the Academy V program (Grade 5)
• 346 in the Middle School (Grades 6-8)
• 931 in the High School (Grades 9-12)

What are your minimum GPA and ISEE entrance exam test scores?

Since we evaluate the whole student when reviewing an application for admission, it is difficult to place an absolute minimum requirement for admission. We take into consideration many parts of the application when determining if the applicant is a good fit for Oaks Christian School. Grades, ISEE test scores, and Christian values and commitment are three very important factors. In addition, we also pay close attention to recommendations, leadership and significant extracurricular involvement, as well as the admission interview with the student and parent(s).

Are students placed on a wait list?

Our admissions process is similar to the college admissions process. We begin taking applications in October of the year prior to intended enrollment. Every applicant that applies by the February 1 deadline is considered in the same manner. We accept the best overall applicants from the group. Generally, we have more qualified applicants than openings. Each year, we place a limited number of applicants on a wait list. Wait listed students may be offered admission if an admitted student does not accept our offer of admission. Typically, wait listed students who are offered admission will receive notification of the offer between May 1 and June 30.

How can I visit Oaks Christian School?

Families can schedule a campus visit, shadow day or attend any and all admissions information events.
