I went to ODA since I was in pre-k. I built strong relationships and ODA built the foundation of my educational experience and I will forever remember my time there. I graduated in 2023 and would reccomend it to all.

I started ODA in eighth grade and graduated in 2019. I had a really great experience at the school between the academic help from all the teachers and the athletic facilities. With such a small enrollment, the individualized teaching really prepared me for college.
