Open Door focuses on core academic subjects and building character. My children have been academically challenged and have excelled here. There is no such thing as a perfect environment, but I'm grateful for teachers who consistently teach and demonstrate kindness. Our family loves ODCA!
We came to Open Door because of the lack of choices in private schools with a tuition that was reasonable. After meeting with the principal, listening to what the school can offer & the requirements of my family as well as each student, we were home.
The comfortable connection we, as a family, felt was instant. We soon found out how demanding the curriculum is and we buckled down to get the work done. The teachers are available & more than helpful. Everyone at Open Door wants each student to succeed spiritually, educationally & emotionally.
Open Door also has a sports program that does well. The players who participate in soccer, basketball & volleyball are known to be of "good character" yet competive. However being "competitive does not require acting in "bad character".
There are many "Christian" schools out there, yet in the last three years of attending Open Door, I am here to tell you none compare. Society is ruining our children & we as parents are letting it happen. We all need a strong hold on God & Open Door gives a clear & direct path to our children so God can hold on to them faithfully.
With hard work & a true love of God, no one can go wrong at Open Door Christian Academy.
Love this school my sister and brother graduated from here and now both my kids attend! The teachers are very carrying and care about the kids.
Best place for our kids, great teachers, high level of education.
Just like a previous reviewer stated, we visited ODCA and felt like we d come home. We are extremely pleased with the attentiveness and availability of the teachers, the structuring of each day, the rigor of the work (namely that it s spot on for each of my kids grade levels - not too heavy, not too light)... Even with C-19 throwing a constant wrench into plans, the teachers and school administration take things in stride and with grace. I m SO PLEASED that there are clubs and sports/open gyms for my kids to participate in - it s extremely important to me that my kids get moving and sports/open gym mean that they 1) get to connect with other students and build friendships (which is extremely difficult to do in their shortened Zoom school days) and 2) stay active!
As for the location, I love that the school sits out in the country. It feels safe and private.
Regarding pricing, nowhere else could I send three kids to private school for less than 1k a month.
We re blessed to be part of the ODCA family!
