Spiritual maturity and academic excellence are our primary objectives at Ocean County Christian Academy. We believe that the Christian (everything else being equal) ought to do a better job than the non-Christian at any task., because of his desire to glorify God. The following is a summary of the basic objectives of OCCA.

Bible Teaching:

The objectives of our Bible program are to win students to Jesus Christ; to teach students the Scriptures; to apply the principles of Scriptures to their lives; to develop a love and respect for the Word of God; to help them hide the Word in their hearts; and to make the Word of God the rule of faith and practice for their lives.

Academic Excellence:

The Curriculum stress academic excellence and encourages the development of individual talents. Emphasis is placed on the basic fundamentals. We agree that a student's education, in the final analysis, must be measured largely in terms of his ability to read with understanding, communicate effectively, compute accurately, write legibly and spell correctly.

Christian Americanism:

We teach our students to appreciate and love America and its Christian heritage. We teach principles of individuality, self-government, and political union. These are all factors upon which our forefathers founded this great republic.

Manners and Courtesies:

The unconscious practice of good manners and etiquette by our students is a desired goal. Good manners and courtesy reflect consideration for the rights and feelings of others, without drawing attention to oneself.

Character-Building Discipline:

The Bible teaches that the goal for our youth is to see them "conformed to the image of His Son." (Romans 8:20) We are dedicated to developing young people with Christian character and self-discipline; and to equipping them to go out into a lost world and lift up Jesus Christ without fear or apology.

Leadership:

It is our desire to instill in students the ability to distinguish between right and wrong, to take personally the responsibility to do right, and to exercise initiative in leading others in the right direction. We feel that one of the greatest needs of our nation and world today is well-trained Christian leaders.

The Faculty :

The faculty of Ocean County Christian Academy is carefully selected to provide the students with the best possible educational opportunities. All faculty members are competent in their academic fields and are capable of maintaining a proper learning atmosphere in their classrooms. More importantly, all faculty members are born-again Christians who love the Lord and are consecrated to serving Him through the ministry of teaching. They have the student's best interest at heart and are anxious to "go the extra mile" to help each student achieve their potential. Faculty members are always willing to meet with parents to discuss the individual needs of their children.
