Why Families Call Oskaloosa Christian Home

You desire more than good grades for your child. You’re looking for a place where faith takes root, gifts come to light, and character grows strong. You want teachers who truly see your child and a community united in discipleship and faith.

For nearly 80 years, families across central Iowa have found that here. We walk alongside students through every season of growing up, while nurturing a love for learning, guiding them toward their God-given potential, and glorifying Him in every aspect of school life.

What Sets Us Apart

We create a balanced environment where academic excellence and spiritual growth go hand in hand.

Faith that runs deep

Teaching a Biblical worldview isn’t limited to Bible class. It’s woven into every subject. Using the Teaching for Transformation design framework, students see God’s truth in math problems, science experiments, and history lessons.

At our school, parents are part of our community. From our parent-led school board to parent volunteers, families help shape the Oskaloosa Christian experience every single day.

Every child matters

Our teachers know how each student learns, what piques their curiosity, and what motivates them. They’re trained to help every child move from their point of need to the peak of their potential, both spiritually and academically.

Academics that prepare

From our youngest learners mastering their first math facts to our 8th graders stepping confidently into high school, our students grow year after year. Many enter high school ready for honors courses because we’ve built such a strong foundation.

We are so blessed by Oskaloosa Christian and to be sending the 3rd generation in our family to this school. We are so thankful for the dedication to having Christian education in our community for over 75 years!

We deeply care about our children going to a school where they can openly hear about the Bible, pray, learn Christian songs, and are taught by teachers who have the same beliefs. It’s such a great group of kids that our children long to be in school 7 days a week to be around a fun environment. We love the chapel groups and that all ages of students are regularly interacting and making the younger ones feel seen and loved.
