Choosing the best school is an important decision for your child's future success.
Our Admissions and Enrollment team is here to help you discover how your child can benefit from a Christ-first, college preparatory education at Orangewood Christian School.

Mission-Driven at the Core
Equipping students to transform the world for Christ and His kingdom is our first and foremost goal for your child. Our students learn to serve others through mentoring, service projects, and other opportunities.
The Covenental Difference
More than 155 churches are represented in the OCS student body. As one of only a few covenantal Christian schools remaining in the Orlando area, Orangewood is unapologetic in our commitment to a Christ-first education and our goal to integrate Christian faith in all aspects of school life. We trust our families share a commitment to the Christian faith and are actively engaged in the work of a local evangelical church.
Unique Schedule & Challenging Academics
Academic excellence is of utmost importance as we prepare our students for college. Your child will be challenged and mentored by knowledgeable faculty through a variety of classes including AP, Honors, and dual-enrollment classes.
Orangewood strives to provide each student with a unique schedule that will focus on their God-given gifts and talents.
