We believe that the Christian School is the best institution to teach the academic material necessary for Christian young people to excel in life. However, academics are studied not as an end to themselves, but as a means to improving the student as a servant of the Lord Jesus Christ. The expectations OBA has for its students are to see them develop their intellectual capacity and to see them use the talents God has entrusted to them to their fullest extent (Luke 2:52; 1 Corinthians 10:31).

We also recognize that students come to our school with differing ability levels. We endeavor to meet each student’s needs based on his innate ability and initiative to make satisfactory progress in school. Likewise, OBA challenges students to reach their potential and experience the satisfaction associated with doing their best. (Colossians 3:23).

OBA has established graduation requirements for students based on a core curriculum which meets or exceeds the standards for graduation from Burlington, Massachusetts public high schools (Philippians 2:15). We are committed to a rigorous academic program that provides the educational foundation necessary to prepare students for effective service to God and prepares them for advanced education at the college or university level.
