Two programs — High School and a Young Adults Accelerator — all rooted in the Blueprint model of integrated faith, real work, and calling discovery.
Two programs, intentionally small — High School (15) and Young Adults Accelerator (8).
Three Things to Know
Ozark is a serious commitment — for your student and for your whole family. Please read this before submitting.
Daily Work Rotations
Students rotate through real industries 3–4 hours per day. This is not optional — it is the curriculum. Early mornings begin at 5:45 a.m.
Simple Living Required
No personal vehicles. Limited technology. Modest standards. Students give up modern conveniences for a year to gain something deeper.
Parental Partnership
This is not a place to 'send' your child. Parents are partners. We expect consistent communication and active spiritual involvement.
Read The Blueprint Overview
Our philosophy document explains why Ozark looks the way it does. If you haven't read it, please do before applying.
Read The Blueprint Overview →Read the Student Handbook
Our handbook outlines community standards, daily schedules, dress code, and expectations. Please review it carefully.
Read the Discipline Standards
Our discipline standards explain the rules and consequences students can expect — from missed worship and meal times to computer lab permissions and honesty. We believe parents should see exactly how correction works before applying.
