A Tuition-Free Classical Public Charter School for Oxford-Area Families
Now collecting documented founding-family interest for Fall 2028
Planned opening Fall 2028, pending charter approval
Oxford Classical Charter Academy is a proposed tuition-free public charter school built on a content-rich classical curriculum. Families who want this option in the Oxford area can act now by joining the Founding Families Interest List.
Why raise your hand now
Documented family interest helps show community demand, helps the founding team plan responsibly by district and grade level, and ensures your family receives future updates as the project advances.

Serious academic model
The Academy is being designed around a classical, content-rich course of study aligned with Hillsdale College's K-12 curriculum.

Join the interest list

Your submission helps the founding team understand likely interest by district, grade level, and timing.
Stay informed
Families who opt in may receive updates about progress, surveys, and future information opportunities.
A rigorous classical education, clearly ordered from the beginning
Oxford Classical Charter Academy is being built around teacher-led classrooms, strong literacy and numeracy, coherent history and science instruction, and a cumulative K-12 course of study. The school is being designed as a complete academic program, not a loose educational philosophy.
What the interest form is and is not
- It is a way to document possible future family interest.
- It is not an application for admission.
- It does not reserve a seat or guarantee placement.
- If the school is approved and applications exceed available seats, admission would be by lawful public lottery.
Institutional clarity
Honest about status. Serious about the work.
OCCA is pursuing affiliation with Hillsdale College's Barney Charter School Initiative and is aligning its academic program with Hillsdale College's K-12 course of study. Hillsdale does not operate or govern the school. The Academy is locally founded and remains pending charter approval.
What happens after you submit
- Your family's interest is recorded.
- The founding team can better understand likely community demand.
- If you opt in, you may receive updates, surveys, and future invitations related to the school.
