Our family has been incredibly grateful for the experience our son has had since transitioning to this Christian school in 8th grade. Moving schools at that stage can be challenging, but from day one, the administration and teachers made the transition smooth, welcoming, and encouraging. We have been consistently impressed with the quality of the academics and the thoughtfulness of the curriculum. The teachers are not only knowledgeable, but truly invested in their students' growth--academically, spiritually, and personally. It is evident that excellence is a priority across every area of the school. Beyond the classroom, the extracurricular programs and athletics have further enriched our son's experience. One of the things we love most is the sense of genuine community. At sporting events, it is common to see teachers and administrators not only supporting their own children, but enthusiastically cheering on the entire team. That presence speaks volumes about their commitment and heart for the school. We are equally encouraged by the number of alumni who remain actively involved in the community. It says so much about the lasting impact this school has on its students. This is not just a four-year commitment--it is truly a lifetime community. We are thankful to be part of a school family that values faith, excellence, and connection so deeply. read more

I attended Ontario Christian, so as an alumni I hope my words carry some weight. At Ontario Christian while there are certainly some positives, I ultimately feel that the school fell short in preparing students for life after high school. One of my biggest criticisms is the chapel program. A typical chapel often felt like it was roughly 60% games, 30% worship, and only a small portion dedicated to an actual message or meaningful biblical teaching. When there was a message, it was often centered on very basic themes like "Jesus loves you," rather than challenging students to think deeply about their faith and how it applies to real life. Academically, I found the school to be relatively easy. I rarely studied throughout high school, took multiple AP classes, and still graduated with around a 3.8 cumulative GPA. I don't think academics should be unnecessarily difficult, but I do think students should be challenged more and better prepared for the expectations of college and adulthood. That said, I had many teachers who were genuinely excellent. The teachers I had were usually supportive, available when I needed help, and willing to give good advice beyond just academics. Unfortunately, several of the strongest teachers I remember have since left, whether through retirement or because they disagreed with the direction of the school. Ontario Christian is also rooted in the Dutch Reformed tradition, which includes more predestination-oriented theological beliefs. While I respect that tradition, I personally don't believe all of those doctrines align with my understanding of Scripture. More broadly, I sometimes felt that the school could have done a better job thoughtfully and consistently integrating biblical values into everyday school life rather than simply presenting them as general ideas. Overall, Ontario Christian isn't a bad school, and there are definitely good people and good teachers there. However, based on my experience, I believe the school has room to improve academically, spiritually, and especially in preparing students to actually navigate the world after graduation. read more

"Growing Christian Leaders"? Honey, please. That motto is more like a bad joke they keep telling themselves every day. Ontario Christian High School is out here acting like they're molding saints, but really, they're just growing drama queens who can't even lead themselves. Let me break it down for you: this school is a small public school with uniforms slapped on, the same petty cliques, the same fake smiles, the same backstabbing only with way less freedom and way more rules pretending to be "Godly." They love to throw Bible verses on posters and call it "Christian leadership," but where's the real love? The real respect? Nah, it's all about who's popular, who's in the "in" crowd, and who can keep their perfect little image together for Instagram. Look, I'm an Instagram addict. I'm glued to my phone, I love posting and scrolling and connecting. And guess what? Public school is a million times better for that kind of vibe. I can be myself, scroll whenever I want, and not have to worry about being "too loud" or "too much" for some school that's supposed to be about faith but just about keeping up appearances. I've been to their homecoming, their formal, their sports games -- and let me tell you, what I saw was a whole lot of hypocrisy. Leaders acting all sweet in front of teachers but turning around to talk trash like middle schoolers. Staff turning a blind eye to favoritism, as if it were some big secret, while other students get punished for breathing wrong. And now? They decide to slap on this ridiculous phone ban like that's gonna fix anything. Taking phones away from teenagers who live on their devices? That's not protection, it's control. My friend went through Ontario Christian and bounced out for public school. And honestly, both of us are so much happier now. We get to be real, to laugh, to live, without pretending to be "perfect Christians" for a crowd that only cares about its image. If this is what they mean by "Growing Christian Leaders," then honestly, they're failing spectacularly. What they're doing is growing a bunch of drama queens who can't even lead themselves, all while pretending to walk the walk. "Growing Christian Leaders"? More like "Growing Drama Queens Who Can't Even Lead Their Own Lives." read more

I'm writing this because my cousin goes to Ontario Christian, and from what I've seen, it's really not what it claims to be. The school talks about "growing Christian leaders," but honestly, the environment feels way different. There's a lot of gossip, cliques, and bullying that happens, and my cousin has felt pretty isolated and judged. What's worse is that some teachers don't seem to notice or don't do much about it. Even though it's a Christian school, it doesn't feel like kindness, humility, or faith are really encouraged. Instead, it feels like popularity and how people look matter more. Students who actually try to live by their faith often feel left out or unsupported. There isn't much accountability, and spiritual growth doesn't seem like a priority. Some recent changes show the school might be losing focus, like banning skirts for girls and switching to jeans as the dress code. Instead of encouraging modesty and respect, it feels more casual and less thoughtful. Also, they're planning a full phone ban during school hours, but there's been little communication about why or how it helps students. It seems more like the school is trying to control everyone instead of working with students and parents. Yes, Ontario Christian has an awesome girls basketball team, but sports alone can't make up for the fact that the school isn't really helping students grow in faith or character. Winning games doesn't mean much if the school doesn't feel like a safe and supportive place. If you want a school that really lives out Christian values and helps students grow in faith and morals, this isn't it right now. I hope Ontario Christian takes a good look at what it means to be a Christian community and makes real changes, because they're missing the mark. -- Liv read more

RACIST!!! Please do not send your kids here! I went to school at Ontario Christian from 7-8th grade. I was so badly treated by BOTH the teachers and kids. In my yearbook it is written multiple times "take your magic carpet and fly back to your country". Teachers would hear this and laugh. They would purposely give me lower scores (I have been an honors student my whole life and now am a physician). Shame on this school for masquerading as a Christian learning environment. If your kids are Asian, Hispanic or generally "ethnic" PLEASE look elsewhere. read more

I am a student at Ontario Christian and I think it is a great school! The teachers are great and the sports here are very fun as well. The people here are very welcoming and kind. I highly recommend this school. :) read more

This school is amazing! Kids here are friendly , kind and loving to ALLLL cultures and backgrounds. Teachers do not put up with bullying and care deeply about all students. I am not white and I have never once had anyone make fun of my culture or my differences. In public school I was forced to listen to many disturbing issues that should not be taught in a school environment . When bullied nothing was done. Love OC all the staff! Never would public school be an option . read more

Ontario Christian, "growing christian leaders" they say as their motto. This is a complete lie. This school tolerates racism and unfair treatment towards students as well as staff. I was a fellow student at this school for most of my life and when I tell you the money is not worth it. This school shouldn't be costing so much for such little your child will get. First of all, this school allows pre marital sex like it's normal. They have only suspended 3 MALE students for this and expelled 1 FEMALE because of this. Personally this just isn't right for expelling the girl when they all were involved in the same act. Secondly, racism is not taught at all and because of this, it is "normal." Because this school is predominantly white/dutch they obviously target kids of color there. Even the teachers. The Principal even said "if you ain't dutch, you ain't much," for someone with such a high title at this school is unacceptable and looking back to this as a adult I would not want this around my kid what so ever. Lastly, the teachers are unqualified. This school has ran out of staff so fast. They have fired, had people quit, or let alone just leave. They have no proper math teacher with a degree and they even hired a chemistry teacher with no CHEMISTRY DEGREE at all. In conclusion this school is unfit for the amount of money it cost as for the highschool. However the elementary and middle school is well behaved and educated as far as they can be. Please if you plan to send your child to this high school DONT. You are wasting your money for something that isn't even worth it. read more

I go here. Great Christian school. Its a great way to have Bible class. Our cross country team went to state this year.

As a parent of two children who have attended Ontario Christian it is with utmost confidence that I would recommend this school. The OC community is incredible. The teachers and staff genuinely care about the students and steward what the Lord has entrusted them with so much grace, knowledge, patience, wisdom, and understanding. Have there been challenges? Yes, naturally, as I would imagine all schools/ students face. It's about how they overcame those challenges. They desire to partner with families to listen, learn, and devise a plan to learn and grow from those experiences. It has been such a wonderful journey for not only our children but our entire family. I am eternally thankful for OC and the impact they have made on my children! read more

MUST READ BEFORE SENDING KIDS HERE!!! Ontario Christian High School (The school for whites). I went to OC for all of high school, there are many issues with this school. Let's start with the racism. I come from a Pakistani ethnic background, this school is filled with racial comments and out right white supremist. I have been told that I smell (Indian Racist Joke), I have been told to go back to my country, some kids have even hailed Hitler during school??? So many racial jokes regarding my skin tone and background. There are people that mock my language, and even kids who are "joking" saying white supremacy. Second issue is the disregard for other religions, the religion teacher is a joke! He allowed students to make Muslim jokes and call them bombers and laugh. When we talked about Jews he was very serious and informed us very well. He openly expresses his thoughts on his idea of Muslims and Jews. He also allows his students to talk bad about other forms of Christianity such as Catholicism. Last I checked Christians were supposed to be caring and thoughtful about others. The school also claims to be very Christian but allows Satan worshipers and LGBTQ+ so if that is what you want your kids around go for it. Third, the school openly favorites it's successful athletes, the school claims to follow a dress code but the good athletes can wear sweat pants and any shirt and not even be talked to. But if a regular academic student was out of dress code it would be a detention. There is also extreme favoritism in the class room, me and my friends would goof off and the teacher would threaten to kick us out, but there were particular students who would goof off and the teacher would not even threaten to kick them out just tell them to be quite... unfair. Another issue is the detentions, the school is so worried about their image and money that every detention you get you are required to pay a certain amount to the teachers... if I have to pay for a detention I will not serve it. Fourth, they have a new gym which looks very nice. One of my friends brother is a Junior there. He tells me that the parking lot get's so full that students are forced to park on the street, the school will not allow them to park in the gym parking lot which has 50+ spots available for parking, they also will not let students park in front of the school. They also require every student to pay for a parking pass which is so dumb especially if I am dishing out a lot of money for my kid to go there. Another issue with the new gym is if a kid needs to poop the school expects them to use the bathrooms from when the school was first built. The main bathroom by the classes is disgusting and when I was there one of the doors did not even lock. If a student is caught using the new clean gym bathrooms they are given a detention. Fifth, the teachers think they are owed something and they are always on a power trip, sometimes they get involved in issues that do not even involve them. As I mentioned earlier with the dress code the teachers would rather see you in shorts on a very cold day then being able to wear sweatpants. They will go out of their way to dress code you and even email the office to dress code you. And Finally, the school is very small and if your kid does something or messes up it will destroy their social life at OC, everyone within in a week will know and you will not be able to hear the end of it until you graduate. There were times where kids would bring things up from sophomore year for me. I 100% can say do not send your kid here. read more

Great school all around. I have students from preschool to high school and special needs! The school does an amazing job helping my child that has special needs and learning disabilities. The staff go above and beyond to teach the students in a kind, loving, safe, Christ led environment. I would recommend any family to attend this school! read more

The administrators that I've met and talked to are welcoming, supportive and extremely pleasant. The classrooms are well maintained. There is a very happy positive attitude here. Also, construction of a brand new gymnasium is underway currently. read more

I went to this school from preschool to 11th grade. I have been in public school for 5 weeks and it is so much better. The school cares mainly about their public image and the money they can get. They require you to wear expensive uniforms that don't fit most body types, especially females, then dress code you for having short clothing. They only recently started giving assistance to ADHD/dyslexia kids, and even that is very minimal. There is extreme favoritism in the sports department. They have a very limited acceptance of different aspects of christianity and beliefs. All in all, this school does not display a good image of Christianity and myself and many people I know from this school have turned from the faith because of it. read more

My experience of this school is as follows - our soccer team played this school's soccer team in a tournament. Our team is comprised of mainly hispanic males. As our team was defeating Ontario Christian's team, the parents in the stand began yelling racial epithets at our players. OC's players then began to play dirty - punching, scratching, and directing their anger and aggression towards our players. The AD at the school has never responded to our coach's complaints. I am appalled that a school that calls itself "Christian" would allow, tolerate or perhaps even encourage - however subconsciously - such behavior in their families and students. This school encourages racism, bigotry and they breed sore losers. read more

I felt very safe sending my child to the preschool. My daughter loved going everyday. I appreciated her relationship with Christ developing- she would share stories with us daily and her words were more thoughtful in prayers. On the downside there was little interaction with other parents here as the drop off times vary. It's improved greatly now that she's in Kindergarten. Also, the preschool doesn't run Parent/teacher conferences; something I think is important at this developing age. We had two great teachers over the two years and our daughter felt loved and acknowledged. It was organized and run well. read more

We decided to place our daughter and our son in this school after we went to a public school orientation and were appalled, not only at the number of students in each class, but at the curriculum and the rather apathetic approach to their education in general. Our daughter graduated last year (2010) and our son will be a junior in the fall. It's the best decision we have ever made. The school works to educate our kids on being productive, independent, responsible Adults based on solid Christian foundations and an incredible curriculum. Our son and daughter are better people today because we had/have them in a school that talks about God and personal accountability. Wouldn't change a thing about our decision to place them at Ontario Christian. read more

Ontario Christian is such a blessing! We have had our four children attend since Preschool. Currently we have a son in fifth grade, a son in seventh grade and our daughter in tenth grade (our oldest is in college). We have experienced first hand how the teachers at O.C. come alongside our children. They are invested in the children and truly seek what is best for them. We have so many personal experiences of the O.C. teachers going above and beyond for their students, whether it is praying for them, sending them a note of encouragement or treating them to an activity as a reward. Our son in college still receives encouraging notes from a teacher he had in middle school!! My children are being given a gift with an education at Ontario Christian and they truly appreciate it, as do we as their parents! read more

My child transferred in mid-high school years and the staff was amazing at working out all transfer credits and her schedule. For a smaller school, there is a good selection of courses. My child has had no problems making friends and enjoys her teachers. I feel there is the right amount of homework and academic challenge. The sports teams are competitive and school spirit is strong. We all agree it was a fantastic decision to move and are so glad we chose OC! read more

The administration at the high school only seems to care about protecting the reputation of themselves, not the students. After spending hundreds of thousands of hard earned dollars at Ontario Christian High, we had to pull our child due to harassment by the administration. So sad. Coming from 3rd generation alumni. Hope for the sake of the future of the school they find new people to lead these students in a Christ like matter. read more

I attended this school for all four years of high school and really didn't have many problems until later years. Administration began only looking out for their own asses so they pulled the trigger on a lot of undeserved suspensions and that stuck with those kids until college. Many times if a parent feels that their child has been wronged in some way, administration will immediately serve out a harsh punishment to keep their tails off the line. Very disappointed this has been happening so often to some great kids. read more

A few years back we wanted to get my son enrolled here. Since we were not a member of a church that the administrator thought was adequate, she "recommended that we reconsider going there". She was happy to take the matter up with some board, but we said thanks but no thanks, we're not here to beg you to take our money. How Christian of them. read more

My kids have attended Ontario Christian school for 10 years. Ontario Christian cares for the whole child...not solely academics. I have found the teachers to go out of their way to make sure your child is successful. My kids have received notes of encouragement and extra help when needed. They set high standards and then do whatever they can to see that your child reaches that standard. I highly recommend Ontario Christian School to anyone looking for an alternative to the public school. read more

My children have attended Ontario Christian since elementary school, and now through High School. It has been an excellent investment in their spiritual lives as well as their academic lives. read more

This is just a review of the theatre teacher/director. I saw a horribly directed play here that was so bad that it actually made me start to believe I was in purgatory. The student actors were fine, but the quality of the directing was extremely poor. There was a blackout after every scene, which added hours to the run time of the play. An intermission is fine for our young people who can't sit still, but the amount of dead stage time was very disrespectful to everyone in the audience. There is no reason whatsoever for a two-act play to take that long. It is not necessary for people to stop and applaud after every scene. This isn't 1800's Russia. The space was used poorly in the actor's blocking. They were just pacing most of the time. It wasn't fair to those kids. They were talented but clearly their teacher was never trained in directing. There was an old lady in front of me who kept complaining that it was the worst play she'd ever seen and that it was taking way too long, so I know I wasn't the only one. She said she felt bad that they had made the younger students sit through it during school hours. Someone else in the next section over fell asleep. read more
