At Ozark Adventist Academy we know the cost of a Christian education can seem overwhelming. But regardless of a family's financial situation, we make every effort to make a Christian education at Ozark possible. Our goal is that we will not have to turn any students away because of finances.
Each year we design a balanced financial plan for each student for the year. It includes the amount a student can work during a school year, work sponsorships, church matching, and need based scholarships if applicable. These credits can often make the actual costs of attending much more affordable. A student's account must be kept current and parents are responsible for any variation in the budget listed in the financial agreement. The account must be paid before a diploma, transcript or transfer grades will be issued.
The account for the applicant or applicant’s siblings from previous years at Ozark must also be paid before the student may enter school for the current school year.
As a part of Ozark's work program students may earn approximately $2,500 towards their tuition during the school year. On average a typical student usually works 10 hours per week (2 hours/school day) However, the amount can vary due to class schedule, student's motivation, and extra-curricular activities. International students and students under the age of fourteen do not participate in the work program because they cannot legally work in the United States.
If you would like to have a student attend Ozark, we can usually design a monthly payment plan to fit your budget. If you have any questions or would like to arrange to visit the academy, please call us 479-736-2221 or contact us via email at [email protected]
Our flat rate covers tuition, dorm and cafeteria fees for dorm students, entrance fee, one instrument rental, lab fees, recreation fee, student accident insurance, workers' compensation insurance, class dues, textbook rental, chromebook rental and noon meal on school days for day students.

Depending on the student’s interests and classes, some additional expenses can be expected. They may include:
Transportion per Trip (medical etc.)
OAA is happy to welcome international students who are interested in a Christian education and who understand the unique mission of our school; however, we have a limited number of places open to international students. Refunds are only permitted for serious illness when it is the attending physician’s opinion that the student should return home. Refunds are not available for other reasons, including disciplinary withdrawals.
Ozark Adventist Academy requires that all international students pay the total school fees before an acceptance letter for a student visa may be issued. International students are not eligible for discounts or student aid. English language assessment testing may be required of students in order to determine proper placement in classes. Early payment discounts do not apply.
International Students must provide English translations for all school records, transcripts, immunization and medical records.
