Our story
The Beginning of Something Beautiful
Outdoor Connect Christian Academy started in the heart of a Christian mother and educator with the firm intention to provide "MORE THAN ACADEMICS" to her son and other children that could benefit from a Chrisitan Education and learning Academics outdoors.
After several years of research on the benefits of learning academic content outdoors, OCCA opened its doors in 2017 as a Non-denominational Christian School serving students in TK and 1s Grade. For the 2018-2019 school year, OCCA serves students in TK-6th grade.
Understanding and experiencing the benefits of being a small non-segregated age school, OCCA intents to continue to be a micro-school where students can experience a nurtured home-like environment, receive an individualized curriculum, and gain life skills to become successful adults.
