Welcome to Our Savior's!

Our Savior’s Christian School: Committed to Excellence and Accreditation
At Our Savior’s Christian School (OSCS), we believe that a strong education is more than just academics—it’s about nurturing the whole child. Serving children from Pre-school through eighth grade, our mission is to provide both a quality education and a Christ-centered foundation, preparing students for the future with purpose and faith.

Dedicated to Shaping the Future
Our staff and teachers are more than educators—they are mentors dedicated to fostering both intellectual and spiritual growth. At OSCS, we understand the importance of building meaningful connections with our students and their families. These relationships are key to ensuring a well-rounded and supportive educational environment where each child can thrive.

The Value of Dual Accreditation
We are proud to be accredited by both the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI) and the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools (MSACS). This dual accreditation is a testament to our commitment to excellence, reflecting that our school not only meets but exceeds state educational standards.

Accreditation is an extensive process that evaluates every aspect of a school’s operation, from curriculum and teaching to student services and administration. It goes beyond the standard licensure required by the state of New York, ensuring that we uphold the highest quality in our educational practices. Our partnership with ACSI also includes a unique Biblical worldview component, which is integral to our mission of providing Christ-centered education.

Why Accreditation Matters
Accreditation demonstrates that OSCS is consistently meeting rigorous academic and operational benchmarks. This process ensures that our students receive a well-rounded education in a safe, nurturing environment. With dual accreditation, our families can be confident that their children are receiving an education that is both academically sound and spiritually enriching.

Join Our Community
At Our Savior’s Christian School, we are committed to shaping the future through a Christ-centered, high-quality education. We invite prospective families and stakeholders to connect with us and learn more about how OSCS can make a lasting impact on the lives of our students.
