Student Life

At Oakdale Christian Academy, student life goes far beyond the classroom. Our goal is to nurture the whole person—spiritually, academically, socially, and emotionally—within a Christ-centered community.
As a college preparatory Christian boarding school, Oakdale provides an environment where students can grow in their faith, build meaningful friendships, and discover their God-given purpose. The Student Life Program oversees dorm life, evening and weekend activities, and all aspects of campus living to ensure that each student is supported, challenged, and cared for.

Each component of Oakdale’s student life experience is designed to…

• Foster spiritual growth and help students embrace the love of Christ in daily living.
• Encourage academic excellence and a lifelong love of learning.
• Provide a safe and nurturing environment where students can develop socially, emotionally, and civically.

In our small, close-knit community, every student is known and valued. Strengths that might be overlooked in a larger setting are celebrated, and struggles are met with personal attention and compassion. Whether a student comes to Oakdale seeking a place to shine or a place to heal, they find both here.

“This is my fifth year, and I have really learned to have an appreciation for things that are good for me. I have found a place where people love and care about me.”
