Ontario Christian School

What Ontario Christian School does

Ontario Christian School is a nonprofit, independent private Christian school founded in 1944 and headquartered in Ontario, California, serving students from preschool through 12th grade across two campuses spanning 42.3 acres. The institution delivers a college-preparatory, Bible-focused curriculum integrated with a Reformed theological worldview, maintaining a 13:1 student-to-teacher ratio with average class sizes of 22-24 students. It is fully accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) and Christian Schools International (CSI), with A-G approved coursework and 15 AP and honors classes supporting a 98% college-going rate and approximately $4 million in scholarships awarded per graduating class. The school fields 27 CIF athletics teams, offers STEAM electives (Robotics, Engineering), and runs fine arts, vocational arts, and special education programs alongside a dedicated College & Career Counseling office.

The core product portfolio comprises four on-campus divisions (Preschool, Elementary K-5, Middle School 6-8, High School 9-12), an International Student Program for grades 7-12 with a TOEFL 95 threshold, Educational Options including OC Online, Classical Hybrid Homeschool, and On-Campus/Part-Time pathways, and supplementary offerings such as Club IMPACT before/after-school daycare, a Learning Center for special education, and summer enrichment camps ($120-$250 per camp). The primary revenue engine is recurring tuition at $9,445 (Part-Time K) to $16,358 (High School) annually for 2026-2027, supplemented by re-enrollment fees ($175 priority / $350 post-deadline), a $110 technology fee for grades 6-12, summer camps, a RaiseRight Scrip gift-card rebate program (45% to OCPA, 45% to family tuition, 10% to operations), and tuition assistance donations via a Fall Fund Drive targeting $650,000 in 2026-2027. Customer concentration is by definition low, given the school serves thousands of individual families across its divisions and does not depend on any single external payer. Operations are enabled entirely by third-party platforms (FACTS Management for tuition and family portal, GoFan for ticketing, Qgiv for donations, Lands' End for uniforms, Eventbrite for open-house registration) rather than proprietary technology.
