each prospective new student and his parents/guardians must do
the following:
1. Read the Home and School Handbook.
2. Submit completed application form and application
fee.
3. Schedule entrance exam and submit testing fee, unless
the student has
taken the
Stanford 10 test within the past year and can provide a
copy of
testing results. (The entrance test determines the
ability to
be placed in
the school, and a student who does not meet the
standard set

current grade
or denied admission.)
4. Have completed recommendation form submitted by
reference.

6. Attend scheduled student/parent interview with
administrator.
Steps 1 - 5 must be completed before the school office will
schedule an appointment with an administrator for an
interview. Interviews will be scheduled no sooner than
24 hours from the time steps 1-5 are completed.
Scheduling an interview does not assure acceptance to the
school. Students have not completed the application
process for admission until an interview is held.
All new 7th - 12th grade students begin their first school
year on probation, and the student and his parents are
required to sign and abide by the probation agreement. A
copy of the signed probation agreement will be provided to the
parents for their records.
All new elementary students are admitted conditionally on a nine weeks trial
period. If the child fails to make acceptable progress,
or does not adjust to the program of the school, the parents
will be expected to give additional help at home. The
school reserves the right to place the child in a lower grade
if it is deemed necessary. Additional probation may be
set for not completing homework, failure to meet other set
academic requirements of the various subjects, or as a result
of disciplinary problems.
Please note that all preschool and/or kindergarten applicants
must be "potty
trained" before they will be accepted.
No applicant that has been expelled from school for any reason
will be considered for enrollment until he has completed 2
complete school calendar years with a satisfactory conduct and
academic record.
No applicant that has been suspended from school for any
reason will be considered for enrollment until he has
completed 1 complete school calendar year with a satisfactory
conduct and academic record.
No applicant that has been placed in an alternative school
will be considered for enrollment until he has completed 1
complete school calendar year back in a regular school setting
with a satisfactory conduct and academic record.
No applicant that has been held back more than one grade level
in his school career will be considered for enrollment.
ANNUAL
RE-ENROLLMENT
Beginning
in February, OCA will begin open registration for the next
school year. At that time, a registration form and the
registration fee will need to be submitted to the main
office. Current students and their families will receive
packets of forms that will be sent home at that time, however,
parents are encouraged to complete re-registration as quickly
as possible to insure their student's place in the next school
year. Some high school courses and some elementary
classrooms have limited enrollments. These classes are
filled according to registration dates.
