Oaks Christian School admits students of any race, color, national and ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school.  It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national and ethnic origin in administration of its educational practices, admissions policies, scholarship and loan programs, and athletic and other school-administered programs.

Full-Time Student Process

To qualify for full-time status, a student must take a minimum of 5 courses per semester.

Oaks Christian Online School has a selective admissions policy.  After careful review, OCO admits students with approved applications and fully processed tuition payments during regularly scheduled enrollment periods.

Steps for Full-Time Enrollment:

Step 1: Complete the Full-Time Student Online Application

• New families set up a user account
• Returning families log-in 

Complete the application, pay the application fee, and submit.

Step 2: Take the SmarterMeasure Test

Once an application has been submitted and accepted, the students will receive a confirmation email directing them to the SmarterMeasure website.  The email also provides a username and password, and the student is expected to login and complete the online readiness test for OCO. Click here to find out more about the SmarterMeasure Test.

Parents: Please ensure that your student is set up and prepared to take the readiness test.  The test has seven sections and should take about 30-45 minutes.  Once the student is logged in they  should not leave the site and should complete the test in one sitting as the user name and password is not user name specific.  Test results will be sent to the student as well as to the OCO admissions department within a few minutes of completion. 

Step 3:  Schedule Your Family Interview

Once the SmarterMeasure Readiness Test has been successfully completed, the Office of Admissions will contact the family to schedule the family interview.  The interview can be conducted on the main campus, by telephone of via Skype depending on the family's geographic location and preference. 

Note:  Please be sure you have completed the SmarterMeasure Test and have received the results before scheduling your interview.  Admissions will want to review the test results and be prepared to discuss any potential challenges in being a successful online student during this interview.
