EDUCATIONAL OVERVIEWOCSI is committed to excellence in providing an educational program
firmly established in Biblical truth. The school uses an American-based,Biblically-integrated curriculum. In addition to classes in English,
mathematics, social studies, and science, we also offer courses in art,
computer, music, Japanese, and physical education.
There are three divisions: elementary school (Pre K - grade 5), middleschool (grades 6-8), and high school (grades 9-12). OCSI admits
students from all backgrounds and languages, however; second
language students must meet basic English proficiency levels foradmission.
The curriculum prepares students for post-secondary education or for
employment, while reflecting an international perspective. The teachingstyle, curriculum, and school calendar are compatible with the American
educational system. Instruction in a cross-cultural environment
encourages bilingualism, and English is the language of instruction.

PERSONNEL
The OCSI staff consists of 48 faculty, 23 staff, 6 administrators, and 2
college and career counselors.
