Welcome to The Portal! (OAO Informational PowerPoint)
Click here to see the letter for parents and students about our new ability to deliver education online! Opportunities await, no barriers, just possibilities.
OAO’s vision is to introduce our scholars to the good, the true, and the beautiful, both in our curriculum, and in the world around them. We aspire to educate students in such a way that they will be prepared to participate meaningfully in whichever pursuits they desire, and to do so understanding that happiness is only truly achieved when it is found in the pursuit of something worthwhile.
We work to ensure our scholars understand, embrace, and appreciate the cultural, social, and literary inheritance they have in western society, and enable them to participate meaningfully in the ongoing conversation of a liberal arts education and all of its benefits. Our vision is to see our scholars become not only inheritors and stewards of the western tradition, but also the architects of its future flourishing.
