Online Giving
Student Scholarships
More than half of Ozark Adventist Academy's students receive financial aid, which is awarded to students with significant financial need. It may support a student from a large family, one whose parent is unemployed, or a student with strong potential whose family cannot cover the full cost of tuition. For many, these scholarships make attending Ozark possible.
Educational Center Renovation
Our $1.5M Educational Center renovation campaign will provide a refreshed environment for academic excellence from the music department to the library. Paint, ceiling tiles, carpet, lighting, classroom furniture and technology are included in the renovation plan. The work has already begun and changes are being seen from the business office to the classroom.
Impact 150
With 150 contributors each giving $100 per month for ten months, the total contribution would be $150,000. This amount would go for discretionary and unexpected needs throughout the 2025-2026 school year. It's an effective way to ensure the school has the flexibility to address various challenges and opportunities as they arise and provide the best environment for OAA students.

Across grades 9–12, students spent time writing thank-you letters to individuals who have generously supported OAA. Each letter was a chance for our students to pause, reflect, and recognize the people who help make their school experience possible.

Students in Mr. Krein’s Biology class took a short trip to Chesney Prairie on Wednesday.

HannahClass of 2024"Ozark didn't just equip me with a community and different strengths... I was able to find my purpose. I found a passion and a love for something God has called us all to: to love His people, share His word, and trust His promises in everything that I do."
Hannah Class of 2024One of the things I will miss "is definitely my friends. I have grown close to them to the point where I can call them my sisters. So going from the point of seeing them everyday to only being able to text or Facetime them will be a really hard adjustment for me."
Ysabella Class of 2024"Ozark wasn't just about the campus, the buildings, or the activities, although they played a significant role in my experience—it was the relationships and friendships I made along the way... Spending time with those friends... gave me memories I will forever cherish. "
