Oxford Preparatory Academy - South Orange County Home

Dear OPA Families, Recent legislation requires that we inform you of your right to enroll your student in either an in-person instruction setting or have a virtual learning option for the 2021-2022 school year, if your child is part of our regular seat-based program. (This legislation does not apply to students currently enrolled in our Independent Study program). Since most of our enrolled families have already selected either our seat-based, in-person model or our OPA Virtual Learning program, this communication serves as a reminder only.

I hope you are all having a wonderful summer break. The OPA staff is busy working on preparations for the upcoming school year, and excited to have our students back on campus for a full day of instruction. We are looking forward to a strong focus on academic achievement, engaging educational experiences and projects based on students’ multiple intelligences, building social and emotional strength, and continuing to enhance and strengthen our OPA community.

We have reached the end of the 2020-2021 school year! Looking back at this year, I can say with confidence that we have accomplished a lot despite the challenges we faced with the COVID-19 pandemic. Chromebook & Textbook drop off will be June 22 & 23. Our Summer office hours will be Monday through Friday from 9:00am - 2:00pm. Our office will be closed July 5th - July 16th. You may email us at: info-soc@oxfordchampions.com or you may call 949-305-6111.

Thank you all for a wonderful year at OPA! I know that it has been a year full of changes and obstacles for everyone, but thanks to all of you, our students were able to excel. I am truly proud of everything that we were able to accomplish this year and excited for what the new school year will bring.

Dear OPA Families, Student Recognition is part of OPA’s core philosophy to encourage students to excel. Accomplishments will be recognized in a way that promotes future achievement and supports the mission of building the foundation for lifelong learning and success. On Thursday, June 17th OPA will be holding our End of the Year Awards Ceremony 2021 Award Criteria. Students will be recognized during a virtual assembly. If your child is receiving an award you will receive an invitation from your child’s professor.

As we wind down the school year, I want to thank all of our champions, staff, and families for an amazing, if somewhat unique, school year. Although this year saw many changes to the way students received instruction, our professors and support staff ensured that all students continued to receive extremely high-quality academic experiences, no matter what instructional model they participated in. It is because of this dedication and our high OPA standards that our champions have shown academic growth based on end of year assessments that is on par with a normal school year. This is a tremendous accomplishment and one that could only happen at OPA!! And these accomplishments will allow us to head into the new school year strong.

Dear OPA Families, I hope you are having a wonderful weekend! As you are aware, each Friday we have a minimum day for students in order to provide staff with professional development and time to meet with their Professional Learning Communities (PLCs). On Friday, our professors met with their grade level teams to review, grade and discuss students’ argumentative essays. Each student from every grade level wrote their argumentative essay as part of our writing assessments per trimester.

Dear OPA Families, I hope you are having a wonderful Memomorial Day Weekend! I would like to acknowledge all the brave military men and women who have sacrificed and died in the performance of their military duties while serving in the United States Armed Forces. Let Memorial Day be a day to count our blessings and remember those who serve to protect our country and our freedom. We are forever grateful for the ultimate sacrifice of those who died for the Unites States of America

Happy Memorial Day Weekend! It has been an incredibly busy time here at OPA. Our champions and staff are continuing to finish up end of year activities, complete statewide assessments, and finish this very unique year strong!
