OCE takes students where they're at and empowers them to be what they can be. They are the future. Our students grow up to be alumni who are making a positive impact on the world. They serve in fields of law enforcement, finance, ministry, architecture and contracting, counseling, the arts, law, medicine, and more. Many have returned to serve in education and pour into the next generation. 

Over 90% of incoming students are performing below grade level. In most cases, these students are at least 2 grade levels behind. In their 1st year, the average OCE student progresses 2 grade levels. On the 2023 lowa Achievement tests, students consistently scored multiple grade levels ahead of their peers and above the national average in numerous areas. COVID wreaked havoc on students' work ethic. At OCE, we strive to instill academic success and spiritual formation that will shape the character of our students to become hardworking men and women of integrity for tomorrow's economy.
