“Oakdale is one of the
Best Christian Schools in the USA!”

We are among the lowest-priced Christian high schools in America. Oakdale was the first boarding school in America accredited by the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI). Founded nearly 100 years ago, the school’s mission is to introduce young people to a life of purpose, through discovering a more vibrant relationship with Jesus Christ. Oakdale is a Christ-centered academic and boarding school serving middle school and high school boys and girls in grades 7-12. That remains the driving commitment today.
Oakdale Christian Academy is a Christ-centered academic and boarding school serving boys and girls in grades 7-12. We enroll 60 students at our 12-acre campus located eight miles from Jackson, KY.
We feature a traditional college-preparatory curriculum providing an academic program that produces a college acceptance rate of over 90%.
Annually, we enroll students from 20 states and eight countries. 15% of our students are international, and 40% are non-white.
Oakdale provides the best value in boarding school education in America. Additionally, two-thirds of our families receive some amount of need-based financial aid to help them afford to send their child to Oakdale. There are also private lending options available to help finance your child’s tuition.
At Oakdale, we maintain an overall 2-1 student-staff ratio, with two full-time dorm deans per 20-student dorm unit. Typically these low student-staff ratios are financially out of reach for many families, but we strive to make our quality education available to anyone. In fact, 80% of our students receive financial aid.
Oakdale Christian Academy is accredited by the Association of Christian Schools International and the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools through Advanc-ED. We are affiliated with the Free Methodist Church-USA and were the first U.S. school to receive boarding accreditation by ACSI.
