"Making an eternal difference in our world"

Located on a beautiful tract of land on the Yomitan Peninsula, OCSI provides a major educational support base for the international community living on Okinawa. OCSI is a non-denominational mission whose purpose is to proclaim the Gospel and disciple believers while providing a high-quality Christian education.

Each faculty member has been prayerfully chosen to work in partnership with our parents to love, nurture, and teach their child. Every day of teaching at OCSI has the potential of influencing students, impacting the future, and making a difference. With 75% of the students coming from non-Christian homes, OCSI is a mission field to children from 15 countries of Asia as well as North America. OCSI is a mix of MKs and national children. This is true at some other the other schools too, but OCSI has a high percentage of Japanese to MKs - about 65% Japanese.

OCSI is committed to excellence in providing an educational program firmly established in Biblical truth.
