Ovilla Christian School (OCS) is a private Christian school located in Ovilla, Texas, a suburb of Dallas, Texas. OCS is a ministry of Ovilla Road Baptist Church (ORBC) and is co-located with the church on a campus. OCS is fully accredited by the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI) and is a member of the Texas Association of Private and Parochial Schools (TAPPS).〔http://www.ovillachristianschool.org/Content.php?PageID=2〕 OCS participates in numerous extracurricular events, both athletic and academic, sponsored by ACSI and/or TAPPS. OCS states that it has a maximum capacity of 578 students, and currently averages around 300 students, in a full K4-12 program (K4 and K5 programs are offered as both half-day and full-day). As of the 2004-05 school year, OCS claims an average high-school student SAT score of 1108 and an average student ACT score of 23. ==History== OCS began in 1992 with nine students attending a half-day K5 program. OCS has won TAPPS state athletic championships in Softball (2002–03), Girls Swimming (2002–03), Boys Cross Country (1998–99, 2002–03, 2003–04, 2004–05, 2005–06, 2006–07, 2007–08, 2008–09), and Girls Cross Country (1999-00, 2006–07, 2007–08, 2008–09), and numerous awards in various fine arts categories including the 2002-03 Fine Arts Student of the Year and first place in State Literary Criticism in 2003-04. ==Bible Instruction== OCS's Bible classes are geared to assist its students in understanding the basics of the Christian faith, and to be able to defend it against a "secular culture", which it sees as becoming increasingly hostile toward Christianity, and against which it believes that Christians in the past have failed to take an effective stand. For example, 4th grade students are taught major Christian doctrines such as the Holy Spirit, Heaven and Hell, and Final Events ("last days" or "end times" events), as well as concepts of Bible memorization and proper use of Bible study aids such as concordances and Bible maps. As another example, OCS seniors are taught a one-semester course in creation science. The course (which covers both initial Creation and the Flood) is designed to fully equip students to defend the Creation Model of origins from a Biblical and scientific standpoint. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ovilla Christian School」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
