How it all started...
Ozaukee Christian School started when a group of parents wanted to make a difference in the lives of their children. They wanted an educational opportunity that offered sound academic, as well as Biblical, instruction. They also understood the importance of the bond between the home, the church, and the school, working together and wanted an educational environment that embraced this. The momentum behind Ozaukee Christian School began in the late 1980s, after much prayer and hard work, by this group of parents. The doors of the school opened for the first time in August of 1989, with thirteen students in kindergarten through 4th grade.
How it's Going...
As student enrollment grew, the need for additional classroom space became evident. After leasing from churches in the Port Washington and Saukville areas, the Lord led us to purchase a former strip mall in the Town of Trenton, just east of West Bend, on July 24, 2019. Read more about the journey to Trenton here.
Today, enrollment has grown to nearly 100 students in K3 through 8th grade. Graduates excel at local public and private high schools, then go on to higher education or the marketplace to serve the Lord with excellence and integrity
Where we are headed...
Ozaukee Christian School is passionate about cultivating the next generation to impact the world for God's glory. We are committed to doing everything we can to teach, train & exemplify what it means to be an authentic Christian pursuing His purpose for each of our lives. We can't wait to see what God has in store for the future of Ozaukee Christian School and each of our students.
Our Mission
In partnership with parents and churches, we integrate faith with learning using biblical principles to capture each student's heart and mind for Christ.
We are dedicated to academic excellence with a uniquely Christian perspective—one that places Jesus at the center of everything we do and acknowledges the Bible as our ultimate authority. We are committed to supporting, not supplanting, your God-given role as a parent. This means working with you to develop strategies that will help your child succeed. Our teachers will take time to listen to the goals, hopes and dreams you have for your child and work with you to see them to fruition.
Our Vision
Cultivating the next generation to impact the world for God's glory!
The influence your child will have in this world is unique to them. We come alongside students to help them find and develop their God-given talents for His glory. The faculty and staff at OCS model this by serving Christ through the work they do in the classroom, and the lives they lead outside of school. Each person brings his or her own unique perspective to the work they do.
