Oxford Preparatory Academy

We believe all children are unique and gifted individuals.

Oxford Preparatory Academy (OPA) is a tuition-free public charter school serving grades TK-8 at two elementary schools and one middle school in south Orange County.

OPA opened the South Orange County campus in Mission Viejo in 2011. In 2016, OPA opened its Saddleback Valley campus in Lake Forest. And most recently, in 2023, OPA opened its Middle School.

OPA strives to create a center for higher learning where students from TK to 8th grade are prepared to pursue higher-level academic studies. We are committed to working collaboratively to develop life-long learners in a safe and inclusive environment where students are challenged, scholarship is expected, and differences are valued.

We are a California Distinguished School, California, and National School to Watch, and received the California Pivotal Practice Award. Additionally, our elementary schools were named the #1 and #2 Best Charter Elementary Schools in Orange County by Niche.com.
