Mission
To educate children in the fear of the Lord through a full K–5 course of study, uniting academic excellence with biblical faithfulness, so that students grow in wisdom, virtue, and useful service.
Vision
Households and classrooms where reading is strong, doctrine is clear, curiosity is disciplined, and children delight in truth — prepared for faithful life in the church, home, and community.
“All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching… that the man of God may be complete.”
2 Timothy 3:16–17What kind of school we are
We are a private Christian academy serving elementary learners. Instruction is intentional, content-rich, and family-aware. We teach the liberal fundamentals of a classical Christian elementary education while remaining practical for real days: focused lessons, narration, memory work, nature study, and glad hard work.
- Christ-centered: Jesus Christ is Lord over every subject.
- Confessional: We gladly receive the historic Christian faith summarized in the Apostles’ and Nicene Creeds and shaped by the Reformed confessions.
- Academic: We expect real progress in literacy, mathematics, and knowledge of the world.
- Formative: Habits of attention, honesty, diligence, and kindness are part of the curriculum.
Statement of Faith
Ozark Doctrine Christian Academy confesses the following as essential for our teaching and life together:
- Scripture. The Bible is the inspired, inerrant Word of God and the final authority for faith and life.
- God. There is one God, eternally existent in three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
- Christ. Jesus Christ is true God and true man; He was born of the virgin Mary, lived sinlessly, died for sinners, rose bodily, and reigns now.
- Salvation. Salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone — not by works.
- Humanity. All people are created in God’s image and, since the Fall, stand in need of redemption in Christ.
- Christian living. Believers are called to holiness, love of neighbor, and the ordinary means of grace in the church.
- Education. Parents bear primary responsibility for their children’s nurture; the Academy partners with families to instruct children in wisdom and truth.
Motto
Soli Deo Gloria — Glory to God alone. Our aim is not childhood performance for its own sake, but faithfulness: children who know what is true, love what is good, and work with cheerful diligence.
