Since its founding, OCS/VCHS has been privileged to provide educational opportunities for international students from Europe, South America and Asia. Our goal is to continue to provide an educational environment that teaches and trains the whole student, resulting in mature adults that can successfully navigate an international economy. Tuition rates, housing costs, medical insurance, and administrative fees are determined on an annual basis. Please contact our International Coordinator for up-to-date information. About our SchoolFounding in 1974, OCS/VCHS is accredited by the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI) as a school of academic excellence, and also through AdvancED, the global leader in advancing education excellence through accreditation and school improvement. All of our students must complete a rigorous core curriculum in order to qualify for graduation and can obtain 12 college credits through our CAPP (dual credit course offerings in collaboration with the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh) program prior to graduation. We have a 100% graduation rate and nearly all of our students go on to some form of post-secondary educational training after graduation. The graduating Class of 2010 had an average ACT score of 25.3. Our students' ACT scores have been significantly higher than state and national averages for the last five years.
