The Lower School of Ovilla Christian School will provide
opportunities and routines to develop habits as well as
the foundational knowledge and skills to love learning and
to know God’s plan of redemption through His Word.

Our Lower School (K–grade 5) boasts an excellent faculty who maintain teaching certification from the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI). All faculty members are born-again Christians from a variety of church backgrounds with genuine faith in Jesus Christ in common. They have demonstrated their calling and equipping for Christian education in the following three areas: having demonstrated the foundation of genuine faith in Christ, having been called to the ministry of Christian Education, and holding the necessary educational credentials to support that call.
