Every child known. Every gift put to work.

OneLearning Academy is a small Christian school where students learn at their own pace, in classes of 15 or fewer, from teachers who know them by name and point them to Jesus.

  • Thursday electives included
$5,000 / year · financial aid available

  • Monday & Thursday, 10:00 am – 3:00 pm
  • Monday Community Day, Thursday Elective Day
  • Support and referrals when a student needs extra help
$1,400 / year · payment plans

What makes OLA different

Small on purpose

We cap every class at 15. That one decision changes everything else.

  • Known and supported. Teachers notice the quiet kid, the bored kid and the kid who’s one step from a breakthrough.
  • Paced to the child. Mastery-based learning means no one is rushed past a gap or held back from a strength.
  • Parents as partners. Portfolios, conferences and an open door. You’ll always know how your child is doing.
  • Faith in every subject. We teach math, reading and science as ways to know the God who made it all.
Meet our mascot

Why a farmer with an ox goad?

“…Shamgar the son of Anath… slew of the Philistines six hundred men with an ox goad: and he also delivered Israel.”Judges 3:31, KJV

Shamgar gets one verse in the whole Bible. He had no army and no sword, just the farm tool in his hand. He used it with courage, and God used him to rescue a nation. That’s what we want for every OLA student: start where you are, use what God gave you, and stand firm.

OLA news

Sponsor a student

A Christian education shouldn’t depend on a zip code.

Many families who want OLA can’t cover full tuition. The OLA Scholarship Fund closes that gap, one student at a time. It takes just one sponsor to change a child’s school year.

2026–27 Scholarship Fund (illustrative)

$31,400 of $50,000

  • $5,000 covers a Full-Time year
  • $1,400 covers a Homeschool Enrichment year
  • $50/month covers curriculum for one student

Come see a school day for yourself

Tours take about 30 minutes. Bring your questions and your kids. Shadow days are welcome in both tracks.
