What People Are Saying....
“Oak Grove provides big time opportunities for excelling personally and academically in a small school setting. The dedicated staff provide opportunities to grow spiritually in the classroom and chapel, as well as through leadership roles, community service, and mission trips. Being a part of the Oak Grove community is a family affair, and the best investment we’ve ever made.”

“I know every single student’s name in grades 10-12, and I use it. I am able to ask Jenni how the play went last night, and I’m able to wish Mike a happy birthday because I know it falls on the same day as mine. These kids aren’t just students — they’re my students and I want to take care of them.”
- Michelle Forness, faculty member

“Oak Grove prepared me for the future by challenging me academically. I took advantage of the AP classes Oak Grove offers and I learned a lot through those in particular. With the increase in technology and strong academics, I felt prepared for college and life after high school.”
