Since its inception, Ozark's work program was designed to develop practical work skills, cultivate character traits such as dependability and self-confidence, and help pay tuition costs. During the admissions/enrollment process students are encouraged to choose their top three work placement choices. Ozark's work coordinator will attempt to place students in one of these areas but because some positions are limited this is not always possible.
On average a typical student usually works 10 hours per week (2 hours/school day) and can earn approximately $2500.00 towards their tuition during the course of a school year.
International students and students under the age of fourteen do not participate in the work program because they cannot legally work in the United States.

The Work Sponsorship Pledge Form is available to download here. It is the student and their family's responsibility to find work sponsors, to fill out the forms, and return the forms to OAA's Business Office. However, individuals or families who would like to help a young person afford a Christian Education can download the form and send it in to the business office. If you do not know a specific student who needs help we will be happy to help you find a student to sponsor. Work sponsorship payments are made online on our website under the finances tab or they can be mailed to the business office. If you have a question about the work sponsorship program please don't hestitate to contact us at [email protected]
