At Oaks Christian Online School, all part-time and full-time students will have access to our Christian teachers, our admissions counselors, and the technical support team. Full-time students will have the added benefit of access to an expanded staff called the A-Team -- a support team for ‘A’dded success. This team includes spiritual life advisors and college counselors.

A-Team Mission:

  • To be a “living curriculum,” along with OCO teachers, to care for and mentor students
  • To build stronger one-on-one relationships with students
  • To give practical advice and to help students become more successful in meeting academic goals
  • To provide an extra resource for students exploring their own faith
  • To become an advocate for students during the college application process
  • To link students with extra resources such as tutoring or counseling if necessary
  • To establish and support excellence in curriculum, support, and overall user experience

A-Team Members:

College Counselors: For full-time students, OCO college counselors provide a four-year, non-credit course that incrementally guides students through the college preparation and application process. Our counselors have extensive relationships with colleges across the country and can help guide students to not only the best colleges in the country, but more importantly, to the best college for them. Counselors will also conduct yearly college field trips.

Spiritual Life Advisors: For full-time students, our spiritual life advisors provide a yearly non-credit course with opportunities for students to participate in weekly chapels, individual and face-to-face community service and outreach, and spiritual advising. 

Admissions Counselors: Our admissions counselors will help guide both full-time and part-time students through the process of applying at OCO and course enrollment. 

Technical Support: Students and parents can access technical support through the online learning management system 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Also, a database of frequently asked questions and system requirements is readily accessible. Click here to see the minimum system requirements.
