Where Every Child
Is Known and Encouraged.
At ʻŌlelo Christian Academy, children aren't just names on a roster. They're known, encouraged, challenged, prayed for, and loved as the unique individuals God created them to be.
A Christ-centered education built around
faith, academics, character, and ʻohana.
We're helping children build a strong foundation academically,
spiritually, socially, and personally.

Makes a Big Difference.

Faith Is Part of Every Day.
Christian faith isn't simply part of our name. It's woven into the culture of OCA through prayer, gratitude, service, kindness, accountability, Biblical learning, and giving God glory.
OCA is proudly Christian and non-denominational — a welcoming place for families who want their child's education to support faith and character.
Learning Goes Beyond the Classroom
Children learn through experiences, relationships, exploration, and
community, not just from what happens at their desks.

Loved by OCA Families
Love this school. You can tell the teachers love what they do. The principal is so kind and her door is always open. The second grade teacher really challenges her kids academically and provides a holistic approach to my child. Such a great school with so much love!
