About Overland Christian Schools
Overland Christian Schools cares about the success of every student academically, socially and spiritually. Every effort is made to closely coordinate school work and spirituality which is considered of paramount importance. For this reason, class is opened with prayer, and regular chapel services are held each week.

ACSI Membership
Overland Christian Schools is a member of the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI) and participates in their various activities including the area Teachers' Conventions and Academic Meets.
Affiliation
Established by the Church of God (Holiness), OCS participates with its sister schools in ISAAC (Inter-School Academic and Athletic Competition) and ACSI academic and athletic meets and is also a member of the local Mo-Kan Conference.
Faculty
The faculty is made up of exemplary Christians who are well-trained teachers. They have chosen to teach at OCS so they may be free to help their students in all aspects—their spiritual lives as well as their classroom learning. We expect our graduates to live useful and godly lives ministering in ever broadening circles to others, thus reproducing the good they have received while attending Overland Christian Schools.
Doctrine
We believe in the Trinity, consisting of God the Father who is Creator of all things and in whom all things exist; Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God, who is the Supreme Head of the Church, which He redeemed unto God by His own Blood; and the Holy Spirit, the Third Person of the Holy Trinity.
We believe in justification through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. We believe in sanctification as a second definite work of grace wrought in the heart of the believer. It includes a complete consecration to God on the part of the believer, and the work of grace itself cleanses from the principle of sin and fills the void with the Holy Spirit.
We believe in water baptism as an outward sign that an inward work has taken place. We believe in the second advent of our Savior, Jesus Christ, in physical and visible form. We believe that there is only one true church composed of those who savingly believe in the Lord Jesus Christ.
We believe in the divine inspiration of the Holy Scriptures, both Old and New Testaments, infallibly true as originally inspired, constituting our only divinely authorized rule of faith and practice.
Non-Discrimination Policy
The admission policy of Overland Christian Schools is without regard to race, color, sex, or national origin. The school is nonsectarian in character. Any young person who is clean in all manner of living and is willing to work and to cheerfully obey all rules of the school is welcome.
