Educational Philosophy

At Olive Branch Christian School, our mission is to Love, Live, and Share Christ through Education. Guided by this mission, our vision is to partner with parents to provide students with a rigorous, Christ-centered academic education that nurtures their transformation into who God has created them to be.

We embrace a philosophy of transformational education, focusing on the holistic development of each child—in mind, body, and spirit. Through a balance of traditional instruction and innovative, personalized opportunities, we enhance the learning process to inspire growth and prepare students to thrive in their unique callings and individual potential.

To fulfill this mission and vision, we offer:

• Christ-Centered Learning: Every aspect of our program reflects biblical principles, fostering a strong foundation in faith.
• Rigorous Academics: A robust curriculum prepares students for lifelong learning and success.
• School Day Electives: Classes in Art, Spanish, Computers/Technology, and PE enrich the school day, encouraging creativity, skill-building, and physical health.
• After-school Enrichment: Extracurricular activities allow students to explore and develop their God-given talents.
• Adaptive Assessments: These tools help us identify and target individual learning needs to promote mastery.
• Small Class Sizes: Classes are capped at 24 students. Each class also has an aide to allow for a 1:12 staff to student ratio. 
• Personalized Pathways: Students working above or below grade-level will have the opportunity to develop an Individualized Academic Plan to ensure that every student receives focused attention and tailored instruction.
• Comprehensive Support: On-site intervention, speech therapy, and counseling services address diverse student needs.
• Homeschool Partnership: For families who choose to homeschool, we provide resources and support to enrich their educational journey.
• Church Connection: We extend learning and faith development into the broader church community by offering weekend and youth services.
• Community Partnerships: Our community partnerships allow for additional opportunities such as Boy Scouts, American Heritage Girls, community services and theater ministries right here on our campus.

In alignment with Deuteronomy 6, we recognize parents as the primary caretakers and educators of their children. Our goal is to build a strong partnership between home, school, and church, working together to equip students with a Christ-centered education that transforms their lives and prepares them to impact the world for His glory.

At Olive Branch Christian School, we are honored to walk alongside families in this sacred mission of loving, living, and sharing Christ through education.
