The MISSION of Ovilla Christian school

Ovilla Christian School will cultivate an environment in which followers of Christ may flourish as they become biblical thinkers, lifelong learners, and servant leaders.

HISTORY OF OCS

In 1983, Rev. Nick Harris was called as pastor of the Ovilla Road Baptist Church. From that point, he and the church began praying for the day when a school could be founded that would teach all disciplines from the perspective of God’s Word and be a help to parents as they rear their children in the knowledge of the Lord. Those prayers were answered in the fall of 1992 with the first class of nine Kindergarten students.

Since 1992, Ovilla Christian School has served Ellis and surrounding counties by partnering with parents to teach students through a perspective based on God's Word as revealed truth. The full range of PreK–12th grade was completed in the 1997–1998 school year. The PreK3 grade level (for 3-year-old students) began in fall 2022, the same year that Mother's Day Out merged with the school to create the Early Education 2-Day program (12 months to 4 years). 

STATEMENT OF FAITH

Ovilla Christian School is the worldview-shaping arm of Ovilla Road Baptist Church. As such, our mission and educational philosophy stem from a comprehensive Statement of Faith. Staff, faculty, students, and parents read this statement annually and conduct themselves in accordance with these beliefs.
