Orlando Junior Academy

Discover Orlando Junior Academy – where Christ-centered values meet cutting-edge innovation. Located in College Park, OJA is redefining Pre-K through 8th grade education with hands-on learning that prepares students for a future that’s still being written.

🔬 WHAT MAKES OJA DIFFERENT?

INNOVATION PROGRAM (Grades 6-8)

Our middle schoolers don’t just learn about technology—they design real solutions. From coding applications to help stroke victims regain mobility to robotics challenges and entrepreneurial pitch competitions, students develop the adaptive intelligence that defines tomorrow’s leaders. OJA is proud to be part of the Florida Conference Innovation Initiative, with dedicated Innovation Labs on campus.

🌱 KITCHEN HOUSE PARTNERSHIP

Every Friday, middle school students head to The Kitchen House for farm-to-table learning. Elementary students join quarterly. This isn’t a field trip—it’s fully integrated curriculum. Students plant, harvest, cook, and share meals while learning sustainability, nutrition, and the value of hands-on work. Thanks to a generous AdventHealth donation, this unique partnership serves Pre-K through 8th grade.

✝️ CHRIST-CENTERED EDUCATION

Biblical values aren’t an add-on at OJA—they’re the foundation. We integrate faith into every innovation, every lesson, every decision. Where other schools teach kids WHAT to think, we teach them HOW to think—with discernment, compassion, and courage rooted in Scripture.

📚 SMALL CLASS SIZES THAT MATTER

With a better student-to-teacher ratio than Lake Highland Prep, every child at OJA is seen, heard, and known by name. Our 96 students benefit from personalized attention that large private schools simply cannot provide.
