School History
Oconee Christian Academy (OCA) opened its doors to children in classes K3 through the seventh grade on September 5, 1993. An additional grade was added to the school each successive year and in June of 1999 OCA graduated its first high school class. For the first eight years of its existence, OCA was blessed by the generosity of Bounty Land Baptist Church, which housed the school.
It soon became clear that if the school needed more space to grow. In a timely answer to prayer, less than a mile from where classes were being held, 54 acres of land became available. The official groundbreaking ceremony was held on November 11, 2000, and actual construction began in February of 2001. Construction was completed in only seven months. On September 4, 2001, Oconee Christian Academy opened its new school building at 150 His Way Circle just off Highway 188 in Seneca, South Carolina near the beautiful Lake Keowee.
