Online Giving
Student Scholarships
More than half of Ozark Adventist Academy's students receive financial aid, which is awarded to students with significant financial need. It may support a student from a large family, one whose parent is unemployed, or a student with strong potential whose family cannot cover the full cost of tuition. For many, these scholarships make attending Ozark possible.
Educational Center Renovation
Our $1.5M Educational Center renovation campaign will provide a refreshed environment for academic excellence from the music department to the library. Paint, ceiling tiles, carpet, lighting, classroom furniture and technology are included in the renovation plan. The work has already begun and changes are being seen from the business office to the classroom.
Impact 150
With 150 contributors each giving $100 per month for ten months, the total contribution would be $150,000. This amount would go for discretionary and unexpected needs throughout the 2025-2026 school year. It's an effective way to ensure the school has the flexibility to address various challenges and opportunities as they arise and provide the best environment for OAA students.
Social Media
OAA has recently changed our Facebook handle to @ozarkacademy in an effort to coordinate with our website URL, www.ozarkacademy.org, and make it easier for people to find and connect with us.

Days of Gratitude
November 20, 2025
Students in Ms. Rempart’s and Mrs. Esquer’s English classes took part in something called Days of Gratitude. Across grades 9–12, students spent time writing thank-you letters to individuals who have generously supported OAA. Each letter was a chance for our students to pause, reflect, and recognize the people who help make their school experience possible.
Chesney Prairie
November 19, 2025
Students in Mr. Krein’s Biology class took a short trip to Chesney Prairie on Wednesday. While there, they had the opportunity to observe a prescribed burn, an important conservation practice used to maintain prairie ecosystems and prevent them from becoming overgrown with forest.
Class Flag Reveal
November 19, 2025
On Wednesday, our students continued one of Ozark’s favorite traditions — the annual Class Flag Reveal! Each class, from freshmen to seniors, designed and hand-painted a queen-sized flag that represents their class's aim for the year and the values they’re committed to living.
This Week in Art
November 19, 2025
Students in Mrs. Esquer’s evening art class have been getting into the Christmas spirit in a fun way—hand-painting wooden ornaments! Each wood slice became its own little piece of holiday art. From frosty snowmen to candy canes, every ornament is unique and full of personality.
Sherwin Miller Museum of Jewish Art
November 16, 2025
Students in Mrs. Esquer’s English II classes visited the Sherwin Miller Museum of Jewish Art in Tulsa. The museum preserves thousands of years of Jewish history, art, and culture—and the Sanditen/Kaiser Holocaust Center within it powerfully reminded our students how hate, intolerance, and indifference can lead to tragedy.
This Week Around Campus

From students in Mr. Krein’s Physics class testing firing golf balls from their PVC trebuchets to puzzle games in Mrs. Esquer’s English II class, photos from around campus this week. (Photos were lightly edited for composition and presentation.)Graduate Testimonials
HannahClass of 2024"Ozark didn't just equip me with a community and different strengths... I was able to find my purpose. I found a passion and a love for something God has called us all to: to love His people, share His word, and trust His promises in everything that I do."
Hannah Class of 2024One of the things I will miss "is definitely my friends. I have grown close to them to the point where I can call them my sisters. So going from the point of seeing them everyday to only being able to text or Facetime them will be a really hard adjustment for me."
Ysabella Class of 2024"Ozark wasn't just about the campus, the buildings, or the activities, although they played a significant role in my experience—it was the relationships and friendships I made along the way... Spending time with those friends... gave me memories I will forever cherish. "
