Is OBA Right for My Child? |
|
Choosing a school for your child is a big responsibility! Besides you as a parent, the school is the most influential part of a child's development. Students form many of their life philosophies before they are 18 and these ideas are heavily influenced by the education that they receive.
For Christian parents, this is an especially critical decision as you look to raise your children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. A Christian school that provides an excellent education, but keeps the focus on God's truth is a very important part of your child's upbringing!
OBA may be the right school for you if:
- You are looking for a excellent education founded on the Bible.
- You agree to support our Statement of Faith.
Things we believe and teach:
- Salvation by grace alone through faith alone.
- Scripture is fully inspired by God and is His revealed Word to us.
- Literal six-day creation of the world.

We are excited that you are interested in the Open Bible Academy. If you have questions or would like to continue the process of application, please call or send a message to the administrator to request more information.
Parents interested in sending their children to OBA must:
-
Read about our school on our website and determine that they are in agreement with OBA's admissions policy and doctrinal stand.
-
Call or e-mail us to set up an interview with the administrator. Both parent(s) and prospective student(s) must be present for this interview. Copies of previous school records are helpful at this time.
-
Submit the completed application form to OBA office with the non-refundable registration fee, an original birth certificate for OBA staff to photocopy, and a request for official student records from previous school (if applicable). Parents of K4 and K5 students must also submit current medical records for their child at this time.
-
Schedule entrance testing with the school office. Students entering grades 1-3 take an informal test that lasts about 30 minutes. Students entering grade 4 or higher take formal testing that lasts about 3 hours.
-
OBA will notify parents of student acceptance and grade level by letter.

OBA is designed for the education of children of Christian parent(s) who desire that their children be conformed to the image of Christ, and require high academic standards in a structured, disciplined environment (Romans 12:1-2). Therefore, if students applying for admission to OBA have yet to make a personal profession of faith in Christ at the time the application is submitted, parents must be in agreement with OBA’s doctrinal and philosophical position.
Students applying for Grades 9-12 will be asked for a statement of their salvation experience on their application and during a personal interview with the administrator prior to their admission to OBA. Secondary students who have not yet trusted Christ as Savior, but whose Christian parent(s) desire their salvation and agree with our school’s Statement of Faith will be considered on a case-by-case basis and may be accepted for a trial period of time. Final approval is subject to the Board of Elders of The Church of the Open Bible.
