This is a great school. They really care about the kids and their families. Extra curricular activity is not what is important. The important thing is that your child is getting a great education and the teachers take time to care about the families who are enrolled there. We love our little school!!!!

This school has no extra curricular activities for their students. No Music class, P.E., Art, Computer, Library and so on. Your child will sit in a classroom most of the day, doing worksheet after worksheet, no matter the age. Most of the teachers are very strict, to a fault, and fall very short when

Too many of them have been there so long they forgot their own mission statement. They will have to give an account one day for their actions. If you don't love what you do, find another. I feel bad for the children that have to endure that day after day. Many parents have pulled their kids out. Parents, visit the school and go w/your gut. Read less

My child has been in Orlando Christian for 4 years and I have found every teacher to be loving and caring. The discipline is great.

Our son has been going to this school for two years. We think it is an excellent school. Our son has attended a public school, a very large private Christian school, and OCS.

We recommend it highly. Read less
