    About Us

    Olney Christian School opened its doors in 2012 with a focus on serving our neighbors. Over 50% of our students live in Olney or the adjacent neighborhoods. Last year 92% of our families were considered low income.

    Our Core Values:

    1. We desire to instill in our students a life-long love of learning about God’s universe.
    2. We believe that all children are created with unique abilities to learn and grow, and we take very seriously our responsibility to challenge and nurture our students to achieve their God-given potential, to the best of our ability.
    3. We take a Christ-centered worldview in all learning that takes place, regardless of the secular or religious nature of the curriculum.
    4. We take a holistic approach to equipping our students for life by educating their minds, nurturing their hearts and training their hands with practical skills, enabling them to make meaningful contributions to society as adults.
    5. We seek to build communities of love, grace and service in each classroom, across the school, and with our students’ families, knowing that children learn best when they feel accepted and safe in their environment.
    6. We work hard to make sure that families of any income can afford to send their children to Olney Christian.
