Middle School

Overview

A Message from OCS Middle School Principal

Welcome to Orangewood Christian Middle School! The middle school years are a time of transition and growth for students. As a pivotal hinge between elementary and high school, we value this time for the opportunities it provides our students for their spiritual, personal, and academic growth. OCS offers an environment where students will develop a sense of belonging and a sense of purpose for this season of their lives.

Our teachers and staff understand their role in leading and encouraging our students.  OCS provides an academic and relational atmosphere that reflects the reality that our God is the source of all knowledge and wisdom.  OCS middle school students can participate in a wide variety of academic, athletic, and extra-curricular activities that encourage them to begin to discover their gifts and talents and purpose in life.  In all this, we want our students’ middle school experience to be productive and positive as they grow and mature in the love of Christ.

Guidance

As image bearers of our Lord and Creator, we recognize the fact that He has given each of us abilities and gifts that are unique to us as individuals.  By providing individualized support and direction, the guidance staff hopes to strengthen and encourage each student to gain a clear understanding of God's will for his or her life.   

Our office registers and schedules students for classes, monitors state and OCS graduation requirements, oversees grades, report cards and provides counseling for crisis intervention, social and personal issues.
