Located in the foothills of the beautiful Ozark Mountains of Northwest Arkansas, Ozark Adventist Academy is a boarding high school offering a friendly, family type atmosphere. It is owned and operated by the Arkansas-Louisiana Conference of Seventh-day Adventists.
Each week OAA puts out a schedule called This Week at OAA. It gives a detailed daily view of exactly what is happening on campus and when it is happening. The previous This Week at OAA is available HERE.
Sept. 13 - 19
This Week at OAA tells what is happening each week. Our online calender shows what is happening throughout the entire year. It is constantly being updated. From fall home leave, to leadership camp, to Sunday school, it's all on the calendar.

Centennial GalaWith a little over a month remaining in our $250,000 Ad Building renovation donor challenge, we're thrilled to share that we've received $104,965 in donations and pledges so far. Thanks to a generous dollar-for-dollar match, this amount will double to $209,930, significantly amplifying the impact of contributions. However, we still need $145,035 to hit our $250,000 target. When we reach this goal, the match will bring total donations to an impressive $500,000!
Our renovation efforts are making visible strides. The lobby area is nearly complete, and we've just started renovating our administrative office spaces. The area is a bit of a mess right now, with painters at work and furniture being relocated, but this temporary disarray is a sign of exciting progress.
Thank you for your continued support and generosity. Together, we're making a real difference! Donations for the renovation project may be made by calling 479-736-2221, by mailing a check, or online via the link below.

Photo GalleriesOzark Adventist Academy has started a process to craft and execute a Continuous School Improvement -CSI Plan. To do this, we put together a Continuous School Improvement -CSI Team composed of 16 representatives from school staff, teachers, parents, and community members. The hard work and commitment of this team has produced a CSI Plan with 5 main goals and accompanying action steps that came from the priorities evidenced from the data used to assess our school needs. The school CSI Team will continue to meet once a month to go over the progress that is being made in each one of the goals and action steps. Corrective actions will be taken and revisions will be made to the plan as tasks are completed and progress is made toward achieving each goal. All are invited to join us in our efforts to move OAA forward.
CSI Plan
There are some changes for the 2024-2025 school year to Ozark's dress code. The changes are just simple adjustments to strengthen the environment and aid each student in preparing for life outside of high school. These are modifications that will bring short and long-term success. Principal Waterman's letter to parents is available to read online HERE.
