Dear OMA Parents and Students,
Welcome to Oak Mountain Academy (OMA) and the 2015-2016 academic year, the beginning
of the fifty-third year of academic excellence! The Academy offers an exciting, diverse learning
environment for Pre-K-3 through Twelfth Grade students. We provide a non-denominational,
faith-based, fun, caring academic community dedicated to the intellectual, artistic, physical,
and moral development of each child. The Mission of the Academy is realized through an
academically rigorous, developmentally appropriate curriculum enhanced by the wealth of
cultural opportunities available throughout the area.
Academy students are diverse in their talents, interests, abilities, and backgrounds and are
encouraged to develop confidence in who they are and who they can become. The OMA
faculty, staff, and administration provide support and guidance in a warm, caring atmosphere
where students are challenged to be the best they can be. We consider the families of OMA
students as our educational partners and welcome your participation in school life as together
we guide students on this fascinating educational journey.
The information in this handbook will be a helpful resource, and we look forward to a
successful year of growth for your child. I invite you to visit often and contact me whenever I
can assist you.
Yours in education,
Paula J. Gillispie
Head of School
