Uniforms General Guidelines

Oak Grove Classical Academy’s dress code is intended to reflect the school’s stated aims to honor God and disciple students. It is designed to encourage modesty, decency, and propriety and to de-emphasize the use of clothing as a significant means of establishing self-identity or gaining attention or social status (Matthew 6:28-34; 1 Corinthians 9:19-23; 1 Peter 3:2-4; 1 Timothy 2:9,10; James 2:1-5).

Uniforms

Oak Grove’s standard uniform is described below. For the convenience of families uniforms may be purchased online at www.frenchtoast.com. When on the French Toast website, click the “Find Your School’s Dress Code” graphic in the top, right corner of the homepage and enter QS5MIZZ as the source code. Uniform clothing may also be purchased elsewhere (Target, Gap, Sears, and Dillard’s) as long as it meets the dress code standards. Please remember to review the French Toast website for school standards before buying from other stores.

“I believe Oak Grove is truly an instrument of the Lord to spread the Gospel and have the Word and the Truth burned into our children’s heart, and they will in turn influence the next generation.  I have a great passion for the school.  I see the great need for God’s truth to be instilled in us from the time we are children.” – Rita

“I have become truly impassioned for this model of classical education. Having experienced it from a teachers standpoint thus far, I can affirm the effectiveness of the teacher/co-teacher system and confess that it has quelled any reservations I had about the prospect of homeschooling as a parent in the future. The ethos created by the gospel-centered, classical curriculum and the supportive community of staff and teachers is what makes Oak Grove truly shine against other lackluster options for education.” – Mrs. Schneeberger

“Our experience at Oak Grove has been so positive.  After our year in public school, I am thrilled that my child has a chance to learn amazing things while having enough time to be a kid.  The flexible schedule has been a huge blessing to our family.  Christ being the center of our kids’ education has been the icing on the cake!” – Leslie

“Oak Grove has been such a blessing to our family! We are so grateful to partner with Oak Grove, its teachers, and staff to ‘raise up’ our children. The solid Christian teachings, the superb classical education, and the lifestyle and quality time that a university model school allows for our family is a perfect match. We are so grateful for their expertise in curriculum choices, the ’sharing’ in the education of our children, and the opportunity to maintain quality time and the high level of parental involvement that we desire.  This model provides other wonderful influences in our children’s lives while keeping us as the primary educators and influencers in their lives. We firmly believe that the ‘at school’ and the ‘at home’ education are mixing to develop character as well as providing an unsurpassed education for our children.” – Tammy

“My kids are always excited to go to school, and I am always excited to home school.  It truly is the best of both worlds.” – Heather

“Oak Grove is a wonderful and nurturing environment that provides an invaluable education both academically and spiritually.  I am my children’s primary source of influence, while they enjoy the benefits of a high caliber private education and the spiritual covering of home school.” – Brian

“Our oldest child went to public school last year and we really felt that she missed out on a lot of family time.  We are so thankful for Oak Grove and its UM because it has given us more time together as a family.  We have been completely satisfied by the academic standads, and feel like our children are getting an amazing education!” – Carrie

“After researching the options available to us, OGCA was the best match for us. Oak Grove gives our kids the consistency and discipline of being in a classroom, as well as gives me the opportunity to work with my child and know exactly how she is performing. The teachers and staff have been such a blessing to us. We couldn’t ask for a better school.” – Pamela
