Our mission is to provide a Christ-centered education which cultivates a relationship with God and equips students to fulfill His purpose.
OUR vision
Our vision is to graduate students who are prepared to fulfill the Great Commission.
our virtues
At Open Door Christian School, we want to cultivate students who love deeply, serve faithfully, and think critically—anchored in a Christ-centered education and a Biblical worldview. We believe education is more than academics; it is a spiritual formation that shapes hearts, minds, and lives for eternal impact.
We are committed to instilling godly character through four foundational virtues:
-
Prudence – Embodying honesty, wisdom, integrity, and humility. Prudence calls students to seek God’s guidance in all decisions and to live thoughtfully and purposefully.
-
Temperance – Practicing self-control, patience, obedience, and order. It reflects a heart submitted to the Holy Spirit, choosing what is right for the good of others and the glory of God.
-
Justice – Living with kindness, fairness, respect, and generosity. Justice is rooted in love for neighbor and a desire to reflect Christ’s compassion and righteousness.
-
Fortitude – Walking in courage, perseverance, joy, and hope. Fortitude equips students to stand firm in their faith, even amid trials, trusting in God’s strength and promises.
Through these virtues, we seek to raise up young men and women who are not only academically equipped but spiritually grounded—ready to impact the world for Christ with wisdom, grace, and unwavering faith.
Our Philosophies
Open Door Christian School believes true education must be grounded in a Biblical worldview, teaching students that God is central to every part of life. Education is viewed as a tool of the Holy Spirit to lead students into a right relationship with God, develop His wisdom in them, and prepare them to fulfill His purpose.
Through this process, students grow in understanding their God-given abilities and their role in family, church, school, and society. Life goals and career paths naturally emerge from a strong spiritual and academic foundation. ODCS partners with parents—under their God-given authority—to help shape students through Christ-centered teaching and example.
