OC Families,

As we reach the halfway point of the school year, I want to take a moment to thank you for the privilege of partnering with you in the Christian education of your children. Whether your family has walked these halls for generations or just joined our community this year, your presence is a blessing to all of us at Ontario Christian School.

As we look ahead to February, I want to make you aware that priority re-enrollment for the 2026–2027 school year is just around the corner. Last year, over 89% of families re-enrolled during this window, and we are praying for even stronger participation this year. Please keep an eye out for upcoming emails with instructions for re-enrollment through FACTS. Participating during the priority window secures your child’s place and supports us in planning for staffing and preparing for another year of providing a Christian-centered education to Christian families.

In the meantime, please keep our students, our teachers, and the continued flourishing of Ontario Christian in prayer as we do our kingdom work. May you and your family be filled with renewed strength and joy in this second half of the year.

Blessings,
Kevin Vos
Superintendent
Ontario Christian School

Save the Date: State of the School Meeting

The annual State of the School meeting will be held Monday, April 13, at 7:00 PM in the Albers Chapel on the high school campus. Formerly known as the Association Meeting, the State of the School meeting is where members of the Ontario Christian School Association can come to receive updates on the school, elect members to the OC School Board of Trustees, and vote on the proposed 2026-27 operating budget. Anyone who pays tuition is automatically a member of the Association. Non-tuition payers may also be eligible for Association membership as long as they have financially supported the school by making a minimum contribution of $250 during the 2025-26 school year.

Priority Re-Enrollment Opens February 13!

We’re so grateful for the opportunity to partner with you in your child’s education. As we look ahead to the 2026–2027 school year, we invite all current OC families to re-enroll during the priority window from February 13–27, 2026.

This is your family’s opportunity to guarantee your child’s spot for next year. We’ve seen strong interest across many grade levels, and we anticipate that some classes will reach capacity.
Families who complete re-enrollment by February 27 will pay a reduced rate of $175 per student. After that date, the fee increases to $350 per student, so taking action during the priority period not only secures your child’s seat but also offers meaningful savings.

On Friday, February 13, all current families will receive an email with detailed instructions for completing the re-enrollment process through their FACTS Family Portal.

Thank you for your continued commitment to Christ-centered education at Ontario Christian.
