Academics

Academic Standards

The OSCS academic program is designed for average and above average students. Please understand that provisions are not presently available for emotionally or mentally handicapped children or children with intense learning disabilities.

OSCS only uses textbooks and curriculum that support academic excellence. The majority of our curriculum used is from highly reputable, distinctively Christian publishers, A Beka Book and Bob Jones University Press.

We use a traditional letter grading system on a ten-point scale. A passing score is 70 or above.

Academic Progress

Students’ progress is evaluated regularly through tests and quizzes. We evaluate the cumulative academic and behavioral progress for each student every nine weeks, at which time a report card is published. Additionally, every student is evaluated annually in a nationwide testing program using the Stanford Achievement Test. This achievement test analyzes both general knowledge and cognitive abilities.

Dual Enrollment

Students entering eleventh or twelfth grade may be eligible to participate in our dual enrollment program. This is an opportunity to earn both high school and college credit for a class via the completion of one distance learning course. These courses are offered through Truett-McConnell University. There is currently no additional cost for eligible students to take advantage of OSCS’s dual enrollment program. To learn more about the program, what courses are currently offered, and if your student qualifies, please contact our school office.

BIBLICAL WORLDVIEW

What makes OSCS different?

“The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge.”

Proverbs 1:7

Biblical philosophy is integrated into every area of instruction. From physical education to mathematics, students are encouraged to analyze information, themselves, and the world around them through the filter of God’s Word. They are taught how biblical truth relates to the subject at hand, and how that subject can be a tool in an arena of Christian service.

The most important subject taught at OSCS is Bible. All students attend a daily Bible class and a weekly chapel service. The doctrine and theology taught in class and chapel is that of Old Suwanee Baptist Church. You can find a synopsis of OSBC’s statement of faith here.

Academics

Our students enjoy a college preparatory academic program.  The majority of our course work uses the Abeka and Bob Jones Curriculums.  The curriculum used at OSCS provides a challenging program that is taught through a Godly worldview.  Our teacher-directed classes help to develop students academically, physically, and spiritually.


Our teachers and students enjoy advancements in technology, including a state of the art science lab and mobile computer lab.


The Iowa and CogAT tests are administered to all students each spring.  Sophomores and juniors are helped to prepare for the SAT by taking the PSAT each fall.  Students who elect to do so may also do dual enrollment, earning college credit at the same time as completing their high school requirements.


Sports

The goal of the OSCS athletic program is to develop a Christian view of athletics.  We desire that students grow physically and spiritually.  As an active member of the Georgia Christian Athletic Association, our students have the opportunity to actively participate in competitive sports while demonstrating the spiritual training they have received.


OSCS students are able to participate in the following sports:

Girls: Volleyball, Cross Country, Basketball, Soccer, and Cheerleading

Boys: Soccer, Cross Country, Basketball, and Baseball


Fine Arts

Students have the opportunity to develop their music and communication skills which help to enhance the student’s education.  The students gain valuable experience along with the opportunity to express their creative side in speech, art, and music categories.  Students participate annually at the GACS Fine Arts competition as well as Christmas and Spring concerts.


OSCS students are eligible to receive the Hope Scholarship.
