History
Established in 1960 as a ministry of Orlando Baptist Church, Orlando Christian Preparatory is in its 51st year- one of the oldest private Christian schools in the greater Orlando area. We have about 400 students currently enrolled, ranging from 2-year-olds through the twelfth grade. OCP has expanded from a Kindergarten program to its first graduating class in 2000, and continues to grow and develop.
Orlando Christian Prep is accredited through Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools-Commissions on Elementary and Secondary Schools and The Florida Association of Christian Colleges Schools. This means that our students can transfer from here to any public or private school, college or university- even internationally. Our graduates have attended a wide range of universities, including the University of Florida, the University of Central Florida, Rollins College, Embry Riddle University, Liberty University, Baptist Bible College, Howard University, among others. They have obtained a variety of degrees, from bachelors’ in Theology, Political Science, Music, and Engineering, to advanced degrees in Medicine, International Communications, Veterinary Medicine and Non-Profit Management, among others.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“There is nothing truer than myth: history, in its attempt to “realize” myth, distorts it, stops halfway; when history claims to have “succeeded” this is nothing but humbug and mystification. Everything we dream is “realizable.” Reality does not have to be: it is simply what it is.”
—Eugène Ionesco (b. 1912)
“What you don’t understand is that it is possible to be an atheist, it is possible not to know if God exists or why He should, and yet to believe that man does not live in a state of nature but in history, and that history as we know it now began with Christ, it was founded by Him on the Gospels.”
—Boris Pasternak (1890–1960)
“What would we not give for some great poem to read now, which would be in harmony with the scenery,—for if men read aright, methinks they would never read anything but poems. No history nor philosophy can supply their place.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
