Our close-knit campus community is supported by a 2-to-1 student-staff ratio, including two full-time dorm deans in each 20-student dorm unit. This structure allows for meaningful relationships, accountability, and individualized care for every student.

Oakdale Christian Academy is fully accredited by the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI) and the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools through Cognia. We are affiliated with the Free Methodist Church USA and were the first school in the United States to receive boarding accreditation through ACSI—reflecting our longstanding commitment to excellence in Christian education.
 

With a rich history of serving students worldwide since 1921, Oakdale Christian Academy is built on a mission to provide exceptional Christian education grounded in firm biblical beliefs.

Our Christ-centered educational philosophy combines academic excellence with spiritual formation, preparing students to thrive both in college and in life. Oakdale offers a fully accredited academic program and was the first boarding school in the United States to receive accreditation through the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI).

Our highly educated and dedicated faculty serve not only as instructors, but as mentors and role models, intentionally investing in the lives of each student. Small class sizes allow for personal attention, meaningful relationships, and individualized academic support.
