OCO Senior Assists in the Production of Autism Awareness Concert

Alex Lin, an Oaks Christian Online (OCO) senior, has been hard at work in preparing for the 2nd Annual Autism Rocks Concert that took place on April 28th at Universal City Walk, Hollywood. Alex wanted to find a way to give back to a community that he is largely a part of by pursuing his passions of helping others and participating in charity work. Alex himself has a diagnosis of mild Asperger's syndrome, so this topic is very close to his heart. He is ambitious and determined to make a difference in society with the goals he pursues. As an OCO student, he has the flexibility to pursue his interests while in high school. This concert is one way Alex has been able to invest in others while greatly benefiting the autism community.

2017-2018 Re-Enrollment

Attention all underclassmen at OCO: It is time to complete your re-enrollment for next year! An email was sent out in April with the steps and process on re-enrolling. If you are able to do so before May 5th, you can take advantage of the Early Bird tuition rate! Even if you are not completely certain about which classes you should select, at least start the process by requesting your Bible and College Counseling courses. This will ensure your early bird rate and we can work with you and Mrs. Locke to make sure your courses are correct before the Fall term begins on August 16th. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the Dean at 818-824-9464 or This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..

Summer School

The summer session will begin on June 5th and run through 3pm on Friday, August 4th. In order to offer more flexibility in online course options for the summer, and allow students to remediate or accelerate their study plan, OCO will run all online courses except AP and Honors. In the past, we were unable to offer courses that were under-enrolled. This summer we are excited to implement a new pricing plan for all of our courses to enable students to take a course that may be under-enrolled. If more students should end up enrolling, we will then credit your account with the difference, and you will be able to apply the credit to future online courses.

If you would like to enroll in a summer course, please email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. for help in course selection and payment. To view a list of our course offerings, click here.
